Shrimp questions

Hi. So in the upcoming months I plan on starting a small 10 gallon nano. I really just want coral and a CUC. However I am an invert lover and wanted to get some shrimp to give some look. I am really into the Venus anemone shrimp and the bumblebee shrimp. I was wondering if they would to fine together? Or the Yellow lined anemone shrimp... does it need fish to survive? Like for its cleaning station?

In a 10g Nano tank its best to pic which shrimp your going with and add a few of the same, as the ones you've chosen like to be in groups. But Im not aware of any shrimp you've listed, as being venomous. They Sexy Anemone Shrimp, reside in a Anemone, same with the Glass Shrimp. But whichever, they will be fine. You might want an Anemone with a couple of the ones you chose.

Would a soft coral such as GSP or a ric replicate the anemone?

Most of the shrimp you'll find for sale in the Periclemenes/Anclyomenes shrimp don't live on anemones but live on corals such as Ricordea, Euphyllia, Heliofungia, Goniopora, etc. Pretty much anything will do.
