Answer

8 Gallon Oceanic BioCu John,

There are many possibilities, as to what you can put in an eight gallon oceanic biocube.

It's up to you, depending on what you like. Obviously this is a very small aquarium, so you won't be able to put a lot of fish in it, but you will able to put in at least a few small species of fish.

Just to give you a few examples, possibly a goby, or a blenny, and a couple snails, and a couple crabs. Corals that typically do well in small nano aquariums include button polyps, mushroom coral, gorgonians, and xenia just to name a few.

The best advice I can give, is to read books on saltwater fish, this will give you better insight on what can co-exist together in the confines of a nano aquarium.

See this YouTube video for another example. It has live rock, with 1 clownfish with an Anemone and 1 cleaner shrimp.

I wish you luck with all your saltwater fish endeavors.
