how reef safe is a Swissguard Basslet?

[SlugSnorter]

This is in a very docile 15 gallon, smallest thing ive got is a sexy shrimp possibly followed by pom poms or electric blue hermits


(if you can answer the same about a Caribbean Deepwater Cave Basslet or Court Jester Goby, id appreciate it, im trying to decide if I should look more into these fish or not)

Swissguards can reach 10 cm. A 15 gallon tank might be a bit small for them (but they do prefer to hang out motionless in caves and don't swim around a whole lot). Cave basslets are a bit smaller (but less colorful IMO).

I’m not sure I’d trust any of the Liopropoma species with sexy shrimp.

Im thinking more along the lines of court jester

 

[i cant think]

I don’t think they are known to eat shrimp from what I’ve read - I mean, I can trust 4” Halichoeres wrasse with shrimp haha, if I trusted nothing else it’d be a bit strange.
