Will fire shrimp also perform the work of cleaner shrimp well?

yes. but cleaner shrimp are alot more efficient than fire. best if keep them in a group so that they wont hide so much.

but for ich problems, the best way is to pick the fishes up to a quarantine tank for copper treatment. the shrimps wont help much for ich

of course, there are medications for ich that are reef-safe.

try garlic addictives like Garlic Guard or Garlic xtreme. They helps abit.

try Marine-Max. Maintain water quality too.

and you can get alot of these shrimps from Marine Life Hobbielist. They have big ones there NOW. (check more details of this LFS in the sponsers list)

cheers

Genesis 1:20

And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
