For invertebrates, I initially purchased 20 astrea snails, 20 margarita snails, 20 blue legged hermit crabs and 20 left handed hermit crabs from Jeff's Exotic Fish.  I also purchased a cleaner shrimp from Fish Wonders to take care of any parasites my fish may contract. 

In addition to the invertebrates I purchased, I have quite a few hitchhiker snails, baby crabs and a fairly large (6 inch) bristleworm that came in on my live rock.

I bought a tiny bubble tip anemone from Jeff's Exotic FIsh in May 2001 and much to my surprise, the BTA is more than quadrupled in size in under 3 months.

I believe these are Rose anemones.
