Hello! This is my first time ever doing a saltwater tank. I wanted to do primarily an invertebrate tank with just a few fish, no coral. It has been several months since I finished cycling a 55 gallon. I’ve slowly added to the tank and as of now I have the following:

Inverts :
2 tube anemone
2 peppermint shrimp
1 arrow crab
1 red knobby sea star
1 purple sea urchin

Fish:
2 clownfish
2 blue damsels
1 royal gramma

I did have some diatom blooms that cleared up, but other than that I haven’t had any issues with anyone in the tank. Is there something I’m missing or need to know about? I’m almost worried because everything seems to be going so smoothly I initially had concerns about the sea star and the arrow crab causing problems but they have both been fine for months now lol

If you haven't had any issues, then you are fine! I would keep doing what you are doing!
