Is Rhynchocinetes durbanensis a macro algae eater?

[Lasse]

I put 3 of this shrimp in my fuge.

In one end of the fuge – there was a lot of caulerpa - probably C. prolifera. 2 weeks after the introduction of the shrimp – the macro was gone – only a few small dumps stick up from the sand, Has anyone seen this from this shrimp?

Did they harm any of your corals.

 

[Lasse]

I have three in my fuge and three in my DT. Haven´t seen any harms to my corals - however I have also some Lysmata wurdemanni since a long time ago - with them coming in - my zooas disappear – and also some favia sp. But they disappear before the Rhynchocinetes durbanensis was introduced
