im not sure wheather i want to add 2 cleaner shrimp to my tank or 1 banded coral. i rather have a banded coral, but if they dont clean fish then ill probably get some cleaners. so my question is, do banded coral shrimp clean fish at all? also will these guys nip at things like feather dusters?

There are a lot of people that detest the CBS. I cant figure out why mine has been nothing but entertaining he has never bothered one of my corals he might chase a fish every once and again but thats what they do. He does well in the Reef But NO he does not clean fish. I have seen my tang back into him and the CBS has attempted to clean but nothing like the cleaner shrimp that actually hitch rides on the fish and clean them in motion.
I probably would not have gotten a CBS but some freinds of mine had one in their tank and he was just plain mean. They were going to flush him so I took it home and he has been great in our reef. I would recommend one for every reef but if it seems overly aggressive trade him for another right away.
