2 questions:
Can I have 2 peppermint shrimps and 2 or 3 sexy shrimps living together in the same tank?
Also, would you advise for or against a brittle star in a reef tank from your own experience?

I had a green brittle star in my reef tank with no probs whatsoever. With regard to the peppermints and sexy shrimp I can't comment but I did have 4 skunk cleaners and 1 sexy with no problems.

sweet - i tried to look this up on the web but couldn't really find anything about shrimp compatibility - I assumed that was because most shrimps will get along, but I wanted to make sure...

Also from experience - I currently have 2 peppermints and 2 skunk cleaners with absolutely no problems whatsoever.
Unfortunately it was my Dwarf Lionfish that had the compatibility issue with my sexy - he ate it!!!
