Saron Shrimp

Anyone have one of these? ---

Saron Shrimp

I want one.

Any experience with, or even seen at LFS

Shrimp are the only things I have an interest in adding to tank.

So far have:

1 - skunk cleaner
2 - Harlequins
2 - Blood Shrimp
1 - Coral Banded Shrimp

Compatibility might be an issue. But in a 125 gal. there should more then enough room for all.

Any other recommendations?

Omard, I have never seen Saron shrimp at any pet shops here in Connecticut!!!! Have to look into it though or order online as they look cool!

These shrimps prey on corals and polyps and are considered NOT REEF SAFE they like zoanthids and green star polyps and feed on small corals.

Opps...guess I don't want one after all.

I personally wouldnt put one in my tank but some are known to be able to keep triggerfish in sps dominated tanks and certain types of shrimp that are considered non-reefsafe. It's really all about training the animal to eat other foods besides it's main diet in the wild.

Thanks, but no thanks. I am not into "training." --- It can just look pretty in someone else's tank.

I have heard different arguements regarding thse shrimp species!!! Fennere and Calfo state that they are aggressive and not reef safe whereas other people say they are safe! If I hear one negative about an organism or animal, then I am highly inclined to not add it to my tank!!!
