Saron Shrimp

[46gReef]

Anyone have any experience keeping saron shrimp? I have a mixed reef and would like to add 1 but have read to be cautious when adding them as they are not reef safe. Was just wondering if anyone can speak to this first hand? Thanks in advance.

I had one in a softie tank for a few years.

I'm assuming without issue? I mostly have LPS, softies, a bunch of zoas....I can't imagine a 0.5" shrimp could do that much damage but that's why I'm asking, you never know!

There are alot of species of sarons. I had a spotted green one. I stayed in the same spot in my 46bf for years. Never bothered the zoas in there but I would be wary with LPS. I mean heck, I've had multiple peppermint shrimp go rogue on LPS. They are cool looking though!

The 1 I'm looking at is saron marmoratus....Agreed definately sweet looking
