Right now, I have a Bicolor dottyback and a pj cardinal in my 20H. My fire shrimp died last week, so I was thinking on getting a few sexy shrimp...are these considered ornamental shrimp and would the dotty eat them? If so, what about another fire shrimp?
 
I personally have had bad experiences with sexy shrimp and I would caution anybody who does not overfeed their tank to rethink buying them. One of my sexy shrimp (1 of 4 in a 20g) may have gotten starved and started to feed on my zoas/palys. It took me a while to realize it but I saw the shrimp in action.

I would only recommend a sexy shrimp to those with an anemone without a clown host.
