I have one cleaner shrimp in my 20 gallon reef and was wondering, would it be okay to get one more? and what benefits having another one in there will have?

You can get another but there’s no benefits of getting another one.

I just got rid of mine about 2 weeks ago. Every fish in the tank hated it, and all it did was cause corals to close while it tried to steal every piece of food in the tank.

Sad because they look so cool.

There is no reason to or not to get another. I will let you know they can be a pain when feeding corals. As soon as foods hits my water the automatically go rummaging through corals looking for food. You can try to feed them first, but mine will drop pieces of food to grab some from the corals. ~Shaun K.
