What to stock in a 5 gal reef tank?

[000trick000]

I am starting a 5 gal reef tank for my kids all we want is some softies and lps and some shrimp any suggestions on shrimp? I'm interested in Golden coral banded shrimp and blue body coral banded shrimp and sexy shrimp. Would 3 of one kind be ok? I'm leaning toward the blue body. Any thoughts?

Coral banded easily end up getting aggressive. I wouldn't go anywhere near them in such a small tank. I think that the sexy shrimp are a great idea though. There are many other shrimp and even crabs that would be a great addition to such a tank.

The gold and blue are much less aggressive than the normals. I have a mated pair of goldens in my tank and they're super cool but quite shy.

Ok sounds cool. Any other ideas for inverts in that size tank? Crabs and snails for sure but I just don't want too much of a bio load. Or do they clean more than they make?
