    Can anyone tell me their experiences with Harlequin Shrimp? I am planning a 2120 gal mixed reef tank. I will have dwarf butterflys, a tank, some Anthias, Chromis, and Cardinals. Will the Harlequin Shrimp give me any problems? What about with my clean up crew? What to feed him? Is this a good tankmate?

    Thanks Pete ;D

    I think harlequin's eat starfish, so might be somewhat interesting to feed...

    What do you mean by "dwarf butterflies" and "a tank"

    Nice pics nc208082. Can I put more than one in a tank.
    I meant dwarf angels. I apologize. Just learning. Only used to keeping African Cichlids. This is all new to me

    Harlequin shrimp ONLY eat starfish, that's it. You'll have to be willing to sacrifice starfish to them so they can eat their little feets off LOL.
