Mine do this every time i feed the corals. Probably in anticipation to steal food.

Yup, mine will go as far as going into the nems face and steal the silver sides I feed the nems! Haha! They are brave for sure. Side note I have two skunk cleaners and a fire…. If they still do the same dance haha.

I have a local shot sells them for $40! Others are $50-80! From what I hear tho, you only want one fire shrimp as in they can fight especially in smaller tanks. Can it be you can get two peaceful fire shrimp. Yes, but there is always the possibility of them fighting. Vs the skunk version are easier going. I’m tempted at getting another fire for my 150 and see what happens haha. If it does not work out, I have another two tanks I can put him in.

Man, I wish there was a shop here like that. If I do get some I'm going to try 2. I have a 150 with alot of live rock so it might work.
