Your thread title asked for inverts but the post asked for corals or algae. Which is it?

I don't think you will find anything as far as coral or starfish. Algae can grow in brackish though.

If you really want to reproduce a mangrove biotope, you wouldn't find starfish or corals anyway. You could try and do plants instead.

Brackish Compatible Plants

I still think the lionfish is going to make lunch of the inverts :D. They are not going to always stay on the land...

the lion fish will be the same size as the inverts but he might eventually eat my fiddlers but only my fiddlers becuase the red claw and costa rican land crabs will be to big to swallow and will stay on land once they get bigger
 
Is this for the 30gal you were planning?
Monos, jacks, the fw lion and the moray all get too big for a 30..
The crabs, moray, and possibly even jack and monos will get eaten by the ''lionfish''
Seeing as they can eat things almost their own size, have several rows of 'teeth' and get over a foot.

The jack is likely to beat everything up too, and the moray may eat the crabs, depending on if it decides they taste good.

And those costa rican crabs will eat anything they can grab, including fish almost (or sometimes even bigger) in size than them.
There are no brackish coral or starfish.

it will be a 85 gallon and i shall choose them all the same size and closely watch them but also about half of the tank will be land plus the mangrove roots and rocks poping out of the water for the crabs to hide or hang out on
