The peppermint would be the hardiest but can be a total disaster. They’re a 50/50 with coral

The one that is out and useful is the cleaner shrimp. You will never see peppermint shrimp and the coral banded shrimp are aggressive. Sexy shrimp need anemone or else they will be fish food.
Get two cleaner shrimp. They are beautiful useful and long live 5-7 years or so.
They are all hardy but Sexy shrimp are too small and will get eaten quickly by any fish that hunt for pods.
