Sexy Shrimp and Hermit Crabs
 
Can sexy shrimp be kept in the same tank with small hermit crabs? Would hermit crabs enjoy the same shrimp pellets? ( It's so weird how shrimp love eating pellets made of shrimp =P)

I think it should be fine. Sexy shrimp is quite fast actually. I used to have them with 6 line wrasse, big hermit crabs and they are fine.

Did they hide most of the time or were they out in the open?

Coleus 02-25-2011 04:56 AM

they hided among frogspawn during day and then out at night.

haha cute alright well I've got a torch coral that only my clowns like so far. Would that be a good home for a sexy?

well i am sure the shrimp will stay away from clowns so they may find different hiding place in your tank

mm good point, alright so what did you feed yours?

Coleus 02-25-2011 05:04 AM

nothing :-). Not sure what they ate for 3 months i had them. Then i had to move them to a new home because I put a trigger in my tank.

will sexies be hosted by flower pot anemones?

CandyCane 02-26-2011 04:00 AM

It's just a normal anemone in a flower pot so I dont see why not, espcially if its in the tank before the sexy shrimp so it looks more natural with algae growth on the pot
