Reefsafe?

 

[Best Fish-Jake]

Yep, anemone shrimp (sexy shrimp) are reef safe. The tang looks like a bariene.. an in water pic may also help. He's definetly a looker!

The bottom tang^

The tang looks like Acanthurus thompsoni or Acanthurus fowleri
A better picture would help (Submerged)

It's actually not a sexy shrimp, which is Thor amboinensis. These particular specimens are Periclimenes brevicarpalis, another species of anemone shrimp. There doesn't seem to be a ton of information about them without some deeper research.

No problem! This is actually the first time I've seen that species of shrimp, I love discovering and looking up new (to me) critters.

It was sent to me by a wholeseller. Ill ask him if he can send. But anyways since its acanthurus species, they might grow pretty large (right?). So might not buy it.

Yup, at least 220 gallon IMO.

I agree with the shrimp id and having kept them know them to be reefsafe. They have a common name of anemone shrimp here and it sums them up perfectly (although they will also lI've on fleshy lps like fungia or duncans if you dont have one). Best for a quiet tank without boisterous fish.

The first tang is a bristletooth. It's hard to say for certain but possible a ctenochaetus cyanocheilus.

The bristletooths stay under 6" right?

So the tang wont grow large right? Will stay under 6"?

The first tang should stay around that yes but the second will be much larger.

The first tang looks sorta like a maculiceps freckled tang (most likely not the correct ID).. my LFS just got one in and I immediately thought about this thread, lol.

I think the first tang is a two-spot bristletooth (Ctenochaetus binotatus) Personally, would say 75g (4ft) or more for any tang long-term, but this is one of the smaller tangs so you might be ok with a 3ft tank for a time. The second one will get very large, and LOVES to swim.

Cool find on the shrimp!
