Anemone Shrimps

[waime]

Does anyone have experience in this?

I had 4 of such shrimps for many months and a couple of anemone as well. Everyday you can see these lil' fellas sitting on it. But after the anemone are gone somehow I never see any of the shrimps again. Does the surivival of these shrimps dependent on availability of anemone?

what kind of anemone shrimp are u talking about? i have 3 sexy shrimps and 2 clapping shrimps. and i dun have any anemones. mine live in my bubble coral and my hammer coral. i dun think they need anemone to survive. maybe they are hiding inside a rock to feel more secure as u dont have anymore anmones.

Hi Bro

Anemone shrimp as per its name will do best with a Anemone as a host. They do use it for protection against aggreesive fishes as they look nice to eat.

These shrimp as well as anemones do not tolerate nitrates. You might want to get the conditions right for the anemones first before trying the shrimps.
