Hi Guys,

Wonder if you can give me some advise.

I have a 55G Reef tank, quite new only been set up about 4 months. I was looking at getting a few of the tiny cool looking Anenome Shrimps, i know these will be fine in a Reef Tank but i was concerned how they'd be with my other shrimps due to there size.

In the tank i currently have:

1 Purple Firefish
2 Cleaner Shrimps (approx 1-2"
1 Fire Shrimp (approx 1.5"
1 Boxer Shrimp (approx 1"
1 black long spined sea urchin
Various hermits and snails.

Plus over 100lbs of live rock and various corals, mainly softies.

So would the shrimp be ok, or would he get attacked/eaten cos they're so small?

Thanks
Rob

Is the Boxer shrimp a coral banded shrimp? If so, that is probably the only one that may be a problem. But a CBS could be a problem for any of the shrimp.
