Hands down Coral Banded Shrimp. They get pretty large and will try and take ANY fish down that swims near them. They are slow as can be so they never seem to catch them but they are night hunters and I have seen a few fish magically disappear.

Mine tries to go after a 6" FoxFace constantly. FoxFace could care less.
Also watched it grab my Valentini Puffer by the tail. Shocked the puffer hasn't eaten him yet.

1. Cleaner shrimp. While they are entertaining they make coral or spot feeding difficult.

2. Tuxedo urchins. I like them, but mine only eat coralline algae, not any other algae. And by eating the coralline off the rocks they gave other unwanted algae to grow there.

Cleaner Shrimp. Everytime I fed my nem, the shrimp would manage to steal the food, it was ALWAYS hungry and never chilled out.

Never again. Plus it aggravated my corals a lot.

Oh man, I LOVE hermit crabs. Because they're clumsy! I had put some HC empty shells in the tank as decoration. I was SHOCKED when a HC moved into one! Not sure WHY I was surprised......Cause that's what they do. It was amusing.

And I've never had a bad Invert. I've lucked out.
I love mine too. The blue legs are so silly one of mine tried to switch into the others shell not realizing he was still in there.
