|  Coral Banded Shrimp
Just followed me home from LFS. 
Had a bit of a sqabble with skunk cleaner when first introduced...along with some aggresive looking behavior from Flame Wrasse.
But after minute or two, everyone went their own happy way.
The CB immediatly went to bottom of tank and started eating what it could find in sand. 
A pretty addition to tank. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

You know I was going to say that but I knew someone would chime in and say why the hell do you have one of those in a reef tank...  | |

I had two skunk cleaners in with mine and both of them disappeared over time...
I could not attribute their demise with anything else in the tank. So, now I just have the coral banded and I do not put any others in there with it

Somewhere around 20 years ago I had a tank with 5 damsels and a coral banded shrimp.The lived together without incident for over 2 years.In that time the shrimp grew quite large.One day I came home from work to find a dead damsel.A few days later while watching the tank I saw the shrimp grab a damsel and go for a short ride.He chose to grab the same damsel every time it got close.In two days the damsel was dead,and dinner.In about 3 months all the damsels were dead.He lived alone in the tank for 3 more years until one day I came home and found him wrapped in what looked like white fuzz.I have never observed that kind of behavior again or had a coral banded shrimp live that long. | |
