Sexy Shrimp

[gsw0716]

I have a pair in my 10 gallon. They like to hang out on the back of my tank behind a rock. Besides being cute, do they ever venture around the tank? I know they like to be hosted by corals, I only have Zoas in my 10 gallon right now, any accommodations for them? I have move something like a duncan from my other tank if they might like a coral like that.

A Little Rock flower anemone might do them good.

They don’t move around too much. A bit braver if you have no fish

I thought about moving a RFA over from my other tank, but they are huge, I may just buy a small one from my LFS. Do they like RFA the most?

I think they like carpet anemones the most, but impractical for a small tank. Maybe maxi minis if you like them, and have no fish?

^This! I have always thought about a small tank featuring Sexy Shrimp and RFA's, and I've found that I've suggested that tank to a few members recently, that now I want to start a new tank lol!

I think a little 5 gallon tank with a clown goby and sexy shrimp would be awesome.

I agree! In a smaller tank, inverts can be the stars of the show

That's why I added them to my 10 gallom but they just hide in the back lol

My experience with sexy shrimp is that they roam all around the tank non-stop, they never stayed in the same place. How long have you had them? Maybe they need more time to feel comfortable enough to roam?

I stopped keeping them because they kept eating my zoa's

Sexy shrimp are fun, but I have had them twice and both times ate my coral. The last time was years ago caught them ripping out the polyps of a porcilapora and I believe birdsnest. They love eating zoas and certain sps.
