All this time of having them and I never looked them up to see if they were all reef safe. Learn something new everyday in this hobby. Thanks for the tip. I only have 3, but yes I have seen my buddies tank get covered with them and struggle to keep the population down.

I had millions of them and finally gave up trying to catch them all and got a harlequin shrimp. Now they are under control and I rarely see any on the glass and only tiny babies here and there.
