does anyone have any experience with these, particularly with cleaner shrimp?
 
Unless the cleaner shrimp are really small, they are fine together. Lantern basslets are a personable, hardy fish.
 
How about putting a Harlequin in the same tank with a chalk bass? The tank is a 240 with lots of hiding places. And a Royal Gramma.
 
I saw them in one of my Lfs, I like the way they are a bottom swimmer and they seemed to hover around, they looked quite docile but I was cautious about my cleaner shrimp

There may be some posturing in the beginning, but should be fine together.
 
Be careful with cleaner shrimp these fish have been known to eat those pretty ornamental shrimp.
 
What fish can go with it. Or should I say can't.
