Saltwater Aquarium Invertebrates

Shrimp, crab and snail species

Saltwater Aquarium Invertebrates brings together the shrimp, crabs, snails and starfish kept in aquariums. Most feed on algae, leftover food and the film that builds up on the sand. They are more sensitive than fish to copper-based medications and sudden salinity changes. Each species page gives water values, diet and compatibility.
