Default Predator for Acro Eating Flatworm & Montipora Eating Nudibranch + The Eggs

Big FYI for SPS Freaks!

Camel shrimp (Rhynchocinetes durbanensis) have been reported by German hobbyists to consume Montipora eating nudibranch along with their eggs, as well as Acropora eating flatworms. These are for use in a quarantine aquarium only and they are NOT REEF SAFE.

Interesting. They also eat corals so I'm not sure if the ends justify the means. Plus, I rarely trust what I read on a website that sells the critters that it claims perform certain functions.

I'm such a cynic ain't I?

Really don't know if you leave them in there long enough for them to pick the corals clean then take them out or not. Just happened across it and thought I would post to see if anyone else has heard anything.

I'd be interested to know if anybody has actually tried using them. Sure would be nice if they actually do what Live Aquaria claims.
