My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
Part of the enjoy of a reef tank, is the many neat inverts and creatures with color. Many are ornamental such as sexy shrimp, some are functional acting as scavengers and some such as cleaner shrimp and even blood red shrimp will set up a cleaning station for tankmates. Harlequins while ornamental will also eat those pesty asterina starfish. Peppermint (some will eat aptasia) and Pistol shrimp - bonds with watchman gobies
What shrimp(s) do you have, why did you choose it and does it stay out in the open or hide all day ?
I currently have a large Blood red and a peppermint which was a hitchhiker, I had two jumbo coral banded and one nice cleaner shrimp until I added a hawkfish which devoured the shrimp in no time flat. Its impossible for me at this time to add any due to having a harlequin Tusk.
