hey guys, well i got bored today and went to this ghetto beach buy my house.  I found a bunch of LR rubble and a few pieces of LR.  I cleaned it, grabbed some "sand" aka mud, and Oh hey there a little shell running down buy my feet.  It's a little hermit crab. All white , in a 1/2 inch shell.  Really cute lol. so i grabbed him, and 3 small cerith snails and was on my my home.  I popped in two small ghost shrimp as well.  What am I looking at for stocking? i was thinking 1 each of a blue leg hermit, a red leg hermit, an astrea snail, and maybe 2 or three more small ceriths.  is that overload?  is there any fish i might be able to get? btw i have a power head on there.  Obviously i will remove the shrimp if necessary.

they should be fine as they are all part of a clean up crew.  just make sure you don't stave them

also i forgot to mension I also found a larger hermit win a small conch snail shell.  the shell is about an inch or so but total, the creature with shell is larger that the smaller one.  it also has grey lines on it whilst the opnther one is white.  Can I put them together or will he kill the smaller one.  What should I feed them?

for a tank that small,  I would go with diff types of gobies,  hawkfish are good, 6 line wrasse is an awesome fish, you dont want more than 2 fish and that is a stretch too.  I wold almost stick with a single fish.  6 line wrasse is awesome, good color and is allways cruising around the tank

you could keep (like Greg said) 1 MAYBE 2 fish. they would have to be small fish though. also like Greg said ... the 6 line wrasse is way cool !!
