    THE best shrimp ever especially if you have a anemone is a sexy shrimp...they get about half and inch long and are full of character!!! they even do a dance hence the name sexy shrimp, completely reef safe and they pair up with mushies, anemones, polyps....just about any thing that stings...i have six of them and they are sooooo cool bout to buy more because of their small size

    I love my freaking CBS, he's the man! He never bothers anyone, I always toss him a few Formula 1 pellets at night to keep him satisfied! He likes to threaten me with his claws sometimes, lol!

    I have trouble keeping Pepermint shrimp for any extended period of time. Fire and Skunk seem to live forever, but pepermints disapear.

    thats why their cheap, they do tend to only live about a year in my experience i usually keep a few peppermints in each of my tanks

    my CBS is mean as heck, he's always chasing fish or other shrimp he thinks the whole tank is his

    He doesn't think it, he knows it!!!!!! That's why I like them. They have attitude (disguised as personality).

    Camel shrimp are know coral eaters and should never be housed with any type of coral.
    Sexy Shrimp are know zoa eaters if there is little other food sources. Once they start they don't stop
    Peppermint or Cleaner shrimp are Great
    Blood or Fire shrimp are great and usually only ornamental
    coral Banded are hit and miss. But for the most part should be the only shrimp in the tank. they will hunt others

    This is what I've gathered anyway
