hi guys,

was thinking to get some ###### shrimps..

but i have somequestions..

i seen many ###### shrimps so small...

will they be eaten by wrasses,dottyback,boxer shrimps or other shrimps?

are they reefsafe?

[hotsoup]

From wat I know, they need anemone to host

[Terryz_]

No need anenome also can... Fuel keeping them with out any anenome...

[hamannbmw]

I have 5 ###### shrimps now, its living happily with goby, mandarin, 6-line wrasse, CS, harlequin, Fire shrimps, anemone crabs etc...

[FuEl]

beware of any dottyback.

[ReDDeviLs]

all right,thanks guys

but they are reefsafe right?

###### shrimps are also known as pistol shrimps too?

they are so small...kinda worry haha..

hm..with dottyback..think i will not buy them yet..

###### shrimp is ###### shrimp... Pistol shrimp is pistol shrimp... Different... Ya... reef-safe...

[Weapon_Master]

###### Shrimp is so far my favorite shrimp. I have 2 of them and they like to move around my tank. Quite bold for someone their size. Reef safe and peaceful.

Maybe because my tank still very bare with only 2 fish and 3 other small shrimps.

Halequin Shrimp (Dont know if spell correctly) is very attractive but they feed mainly on starfish. More costly too.

Boxing shirmp is aggressive and it will eat other shirmp or fish if it is able to catch them. My and anemone shirmp and Cleaner shirmp were eaten by my Boxer. Now I dare not keep any more shirmp with it.

if I were you, I would give up the boxer and get other types..

I am a shrimp lover too. Now I keep my boxer in the main tank and keep other shrimps (cleaner, ######, anemone, peppermint...) in my refugium.

The reason why I keep my boxer in main tank is it won't disturb corals like CS and it is always very eye-catching (I meant pretty)

My CBS aka boxer have nvr attack my Skunk, Peppermint, Harlequin shrimp. The most they will try pinching those shrimp when they ventured into their territory. I have a pair of CBS.

Maybe ur shrimp is killed by something else and boxer is juz finishing up wat is left over? A cleaner shrimp instinct?

Juz sharing my experience.

Cheers

Halequin Shrimp (Dont know if spell correctly)

You just missed one of the most difficult letter to pronounce, letter "R."

It should be Harlequin Shrimp.

###### shrimp is absolutely reef safe, i also agree with jc85 that may be other inhabitant in your tank are killed your CBS first then it be eaten by boxer shrimp. Because i keep 2 boxer (mate pair) with 3 ###### shrimp, 2 pistol shrimp, 2 kind of shrimp that i don't know the english name. All of them are live peacefully and no bother each other. But you must absolutely avoid wrasses and basslet species.
