Well it's possible to breed Lysmata wurdemanni, Lysmata debelius (not that easy), Lysmata amboinensis (very tricky, very difficult this one), Lysmata seticaudata, Stenopus Hispidus (not that easy), Thor Amboinensis (really haven't been described yet), i've done some research with rhynchocinetes uritai (these are all ornamental shrimps and lobsters like). I've read a paper yesterday that describes first larval stages of Alpheus sp (pistol shrimp)
Then we have snails, like strombus sp that companys like ORA have been doing. Some brittle star, starfish and some bristle worm are others not so well documented.
Then you would have corals, but people do not breed them just frag them which it's controverse because you never expand the genetic diversity which could make in a future the corals to colapse. Finally you could do some nudibranch like berghias for example.
Fishes are what is most common to ask and to do at first. Orchid dottyback, Clowns, blennies, neon gobys. French angels are a very big case of sucess but very supported in wild plancton (not a very good method to do constantly).
If you are interested in any particular i hope i can help you, but it's for you now to see what's best to do, managing your time and dedication.

Sincerely

Welcome to the boards!

Snails are easy to breed in captivity since theyre like baby factories. Ive never heard of sally lightfoots breeding in captive. But like Antonio said, you just got to know how to do it.

EDIT: Asternia stars and some other starts also easily breed
