I have a 10 gallon nano reef. 2 black ocellaris clownfish and 2 snails, have been in there for a month. I want a cleanup crew as well as maybe another fish. Can I get a lawnmower blenny and a coral banded shrimp, or is that too much? Which do you recommend? Also where can I find specific info on each? Thanks :D

Personally I would not recommend a coral banded shrimp in a 10g. They tend to grow bigger than you want them to be and can get aggressive. I’d go with a cleaner shrimp instead.

I would recommend no more fish. The two clowns might even outgrow the 10 gallon. Coral banded shrimp tend to grow big and be annoying. If your set on a shrimp I would do cleaner.

I got an electric blue hermit crab and tons of blue legged hermit crabs. 2 orange blood clowns with 2 large LT anemones and a yellow watchman goby with candy cane pistol shrimp. I had the Lts going on 3 and clowns 4. My last yellow goby died of old age.
I wouldn’t do the two you stated due to size they will get to be. Look into those electric blue hermit crabs, they are cuc and prettyZ
