I have some really troublesome GSP and palys and I have tried various techniques to control them. If I were to add camelback shrimp intentionally, would they eat them? What else would they eat ? (and that's the kicker I suppose...) I have SPS, LPS, gorgonians, a couple of softies, clams and then these damned gsp and palys. What's everyone's experiences with camelback shrimp in a mixed reef? Thanks.

I don't think you can rely on them to only eat the corals you want , especially with tasty lps in there too!

I would be very cautious, always, when adding livestock for the purpose of eliminating a specific coral.
