Sexy Shrimp safe?

[phangster]

Hi guys,

I just added 2 sexy shrimp into my tank but was told by a fellow reefer that it is not advisable to do so as they may eat corals...

I have Zoa, Sun coral, Bubble, Octopus and a hammer in my tank...

Do i have to remove it?

thanks!!

from google:

Are sexies reef safe?

YES! But, if they are not kept well fed, there is a big chance that they will munch on your corals. Some people don't have trouble with this at all, but I personally have to feed mine at least once a day, or else they start binging on zoa skirts.

they like to grab foods from corals.... but if you keep them will anemone then should be ok... they like to host on anemone too....

Cheers and Happy Reefing..

sexy shrimps don't eat corals as far as i know...

they are commensals.. they live near or with corals.

don't need to worry about small things like this. as long as you feed your tank and fishes, your shrimps will get a share of food.
