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.

Default 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.
