Sexy Shrimp good Idea???

[marki24]

I currently have.....
2 clownfish
3 blue chromis
1 cardinal
1 watchman goby
some snails
some hermit crabs
and a cleaner shrimp

I am planning on adding a peppermint shrimp and a sexy shrimp would this be "ok" in my tank. Its a 37 gallon FYI.

I know from researching, some Cardinals are known to eat Sexy Shrimp.

Mine eat zoas skirts it'll finish one zoas under 60 seconds. after I sold my blue carpet both of my sexy gone.

Based on the type of cardinal, and the size ofcourse, it may or may not eat it. Also, the size of the watchman goby. full grown adult watchman gobies can open their mouth quite wide. If theres a chance it can fit in the mouth, the fish will probably try

some eat zoa skirts and some don't. if you can, i would ask whoever youre getting it from if they have noticed this behavior.
oh, and mine seems to adore my branching torch coral! just a hint

what about live rock? How much live rock do you have?

from my

from where I am sitting I believe that sexy shrimp are harmless, so I do see any reason Y you shouldnt get them. I dont think the goby will go after the shrimp so with ur live stock, sexxies will be happy campers.

just from personal experience everything goes in the "aquatic world" you just have to look at your chances and make the decision depending on which option gives you the most chance of success. But like i said anything goes.
