Red banded shrimp

[Alwmh4]

cinsidering getting one. I have snails, hermits, a skunk, corals, and fish. Anyone have any bad experiences?

do you mean coral banded shrimp?

Well I'm not sure. It's listed in live aquaria as a goby and red banded pistol shrimp. Some of these guys have multiple common names.

Ok...a Pistol shrimp. They generally keep to the goby's hole and when they do travel, they are always close to the goby. Not likely to hurt fish or corals....although the goby may spread sand on the corals sitting on the sand bed and even bury them. they will protect the "den " den from hermits and snails, but the goby generally does this first.

If you like the little things in a tank, these guys are awesome to see. I loved watching mine and my goby build homes.

So long as he doesn't attack my skunk shrimp. Only other small critter is a sixline. Sand bed is bare in some areas and 2"in others. This ok?
I already have a diamond goby so aware of sand dumping
