What can do well in an ET Nano 8x8x8 enclosure?

I just came into two of those cube shaped 8x8x8 nano exoterras with a bunch of corkbark today. I don't think they're appropriate for anything I currently have atm. Too short for my pokie, too big for my slings, inappropriate for my terrestrials. I've heard mixed reviews on putting GBB in there and mines still a teeny tiny thing anyways. But my partner is honestly never opposed to me adding on new critters, so I may just have an excuse to go shopping once I've replaced the stupid mesh.

Those of you with this enclosure, what would you recommend for it?

Editing to add: I am not opposed to branching off into other inverts which is why I didn't do this in tarantula chat.

With 8x8x8, it’s pretty good size for small sized mantis, or wolf spider or huntsmen spider too!

Even though the enclosures are small, you still have a lot of possibilities. Instead of trying to put together an exhaustive list, I'll just mention what I would do if I had a spare 8" x 8" x 8". After making sure it was escape proof, I'd look for an Alipes sp centipede. They're decent beginner species, stay small, have really cool modified terminal legs (hence the common name of flag tailed centipede), and centipede hunting behavior is amazing and I miss watching it.
