I want to add a few Camel Shrimp to my SPS tank. I have kept them in the past and I know they will eat soft coral. That is well documented. I have never kept them in an SPS tank though. Will they eat SPS too? I know Peppermint Shrimp will sometimes go rogue and eat or kill coral. I watched one start ripping polyps out of a Purple Stylophora several years ago. He was quickly banished to the sump. I don't trust those enough to put one in my SPS tank. That is why I am asking about the Camel Shrimp. Thank you.

Considering what a nightmare they can be to catch, I would probably pick another shrimp type to add rather than risk it.
