I recently put my dwarf hermit and an astrea snail, as well as a sexy shrimp, in my ten gallon nano. They came from my vase. They were crawling all over the coral frags and knocking them off the rock.

Right now the only mobile inverts are 5 juvie cerith snails, a host of pods, and bristle worms. Should I worry about the worms? They leave the zoas and GSP alone. But I've counted up to five before.

Do I need to feed this small inverts? Maybe a quarter of formula 1 pellet crumbled up once a week?

Well you're gonna need some sort of food supply for the mobile inverts. The snails will graze on algae, however the shrimp and hermit will need some food. A bit of flake food to the bottom every so often should suffice. Unless you wish to be like me, I'm psychotic and spot feed my inverts brine shrimp/spirulina with a dropper *laughingc
