Hi I am trying to add range of shrimps. I have a cleaner shrimp, just added a coral banded shrimp, and now want to add a fire shrimp, and later a purple lobster. Will this be all ok in a 325l tank. There is lots of hiding places.

I have a wide variety of shrimp myself teh coolist one i have is a monkey shrimp... anyways yes they all shoud get together fine as u have more than enuf space.

coral banded shrimp can be aggressive to other shrimp unless you have a large tank. Blood red shrimp, aka fire shrimp can also be aggressive towards other shrimp even though they are a member of the cleaner family. The other cleaner shrimp you have I am assuming is a Skunk cleaner and they are not aggressive at all.

As for the purple reef lobster.....they look nice, but one of the problems with them is that they stay hid behind the rock most of the time because they are nocturnal. They will also snag fish and munch on them if given the chance. While they are "reef safe" they are not fish safe, and also may go after your shrimp.

Thanks for the reply's. My CB shrimp lost one of his arms, will this grow back?

It will slowly come back with each new molt I wouldnt worry
