Sexy shrimp might be a risk IMO. You can actually see my cleaner shrimp's antennae touching the top of his head in this pic.

They are so cool!!!
How often do you feed him? I guess if you feed him a lot they are less likely to touch the sexy shrimp.

I just looked it up and one guy said that he kept one with sexy shrimp with no problems.
My sexy shrimp also have a RBTA to hide in if they get scared :)
 
Twice a week seems to work well for me. Usually small pieces of silverside or table shrimp.

So he seems pretty low maintenance. Is he a messy eater?
I might have to look into one of these a little more. :)
 
Very easy in my experience. I've heard from others that they can be finicky to get started on frozen foods. Like any predator they make a bigger impact on the bio load, so you just have to keep up your maintenance.

I will defiantly have to do a little more research on them. Thanks for all the information!!! :)
 
Im not planing on having a sexy Shrimp. I ha ve a large blood, and cleaner shrimp.
Is this a ghost eel?
I think that that is a dwarf golden moray eel but I might be wrong.
 
I had a golden dwarf moray in my reef for quite some time. He was in there with clowns, a mandarin and cleaner shrimp. No issues because they stay very small.
What is a good size tank for one and how big do they get
 
10-12 inches is the max I've ever seen. You could get away with a 40 gallon tank. Obviously larger would be better for helping with the bio load.
