Shrimp Question

[bigsink]

Will a cleaner shrimp peacefully coexist with a Banded Coral Shrimp in a 75 gallon tank?

I had 2 at one time with my coral banded shrimp and a fire shrimp as well (Fire is still there) until my satan lightfoot crab hunted and killed the cleaners.

Coral Banded Shrimp are known to hunt and kill skunk/blood cleaners.

in such a big tank with alot of rock i would think they would be ok but i would watch them just in case.

i wouldn't do it. just from hearing other's experiences

I started with a coral banded and 2 months later i bought 2 cleaners and now (about a year later) they are all still alive. I have a 55g

Thank you for all of the responses. My Tang and Anthias are presenting themselves to the Banded Coral Shrimp to be cleaned. I think I am going to give the Cleaner Shrimp a shot.

I have a coral banded and cleaner shrimp in a 58g with about 80 lbs. of live rock for about 4 months now. HTH.

I had a mated pair of CBS & a SCS in a 55 gal w/no problems along w/2-4

peppermint shrimp. Possibly because they were a mated pair they were no problem. Get small specimens & add together. :thrash:
