Banded Coral Shrimp reef safe?
 

hi, i was given a banded coral shrimp, currently ive got him in a 10g.
are they reef safe? ive got 2 cleaner shrimp and a peppermint, will they get along?
appreciate any feedback,
thanks

Hey The coral banded shrimp is reef safe, but not so sure about other shrimp safe...it is fairly ****sy at times. keep a close eye on him cuz they tend always want to pinch...

They are reef safe and can be kept very happy by some manual feedings every couple of days. Mine just hangs out in a cave until the nighttime hits when he knows its dinner time.

re shrimp
 

Interesting, I have heard that coral banded can nip on corals..
I guess as the old saying goes..ask 10 reefers a question and get 10 different answers. LOL
However, according to J & L, ok with corals. But may pick on other smaller shrimp

just my 2 cents worth.

They will work over smaller shrimp in many cases.

i've got a large coral banded with 2 cleaner shrimps half his size, they have been together 7 months. so far so good.
