hello,
well first of all, i am planning on buying a
-mated banded coral shrimps
-skunk cleaner shrimp
-sally lightfoot


i have a 55 gallon tank, with only 2 damsels and some hermit crabs and a camel shirmp.
my tank has been established for around.. 5-6 months

i was wondering if i get any of these will the banded shrimp eat the invertebrates im planning on geting?

will sometimes attack fish and eat corals...all crabs are really hit and miss they are all opportunistic feeders

oh well mine seems fine, trys to swat as the fish but is never fast enough and sems to feed plenty on the algea in the tank.
but on that note i guess i agree with Germanman, iffy w/crabs.
