Saltwater Invertebrates
Saltwater Invertebrates for Sale
Marine invertebrates can be a unique addition to the saltwater aquarium depending on other tankmates and setup. Some inverts such as cleaner shrimp and snails are beneficial to your aquarium by cleaning up detritus or even helping fish heal from wounds or parasites. Other invertebrates such as anemones and feather dusters are simply interesting to watch as they interact with the habitat and other inhabitants. Care level will vary greatly and some invertebrates should only be kept by experienced aquarists as they are incredibly sensitive to incorrect water parameters and need a specialized setup in order to thrive. All invertebrates should only be added to a well-established aquarium and never exposed to copper-based medications.
