So I have a 3G cube that I have 4 sexy shrimp and a couple blue leg hermits in and I'm wondering what else I can put in this tank? I've read sexy shrimp can prey on coral. What are my options?
 
I'm doing the same with my 3g. From what I've heard, keep em fed and they'll likely leave the coral alone. Personally I wouldn't add more livestock than that, just coral.
 
That's what I was thinking. I've heard they eat coral that starts to go downhill. I was going to put some inexpensive zoas I have in there as an experiment and see how they do
 
From personal experience, just keep them fed and they won't touch your corals. Mine bugged my zoas while I was on vacation for a few days. Noticed a few polyps missing here and there... but after keeping them fed no more polyps missing!
 
I'm going to give that a try. I'd like to put some softies in the tank. Nothing crazy. Just some hardy coral that will give it some more color. Maybe some gsp
