i have one in my fowlr, and he's been no trouble. he's very docile, and i've heard from multiple sources that they are reef safe. they shouldn't pick at corals or anything. they're a really beautiful shrimp and mine has lots of personality. i'd definitely recommend one.

I have one in a tank with LPS, leather and a few softies and it doesn't touch anything. It attacks food I put in the tank and cleans my fish. Other than that, it just does the normal shrimp wiggle.
One other question would it be possible to kept a small group of sexy shrimp in the tank also, would there be territory issues or other problems?

I had 2 blood shrimps with 2 cleaner shrimps and 2 sexy shrimps in the same tank with absolutely no problems. I also had a Leather Toadstool and some Zoas at that time and they never bothered them.

Agreed...they are all placid shrimp in my opinion, so, no issues should be seen from them....

i agree as well. i'd be more worried about what type of fish i had in the tank with sexies than about the blood shrimp.
i have no fish is a invert/coral only tank right now,may deside on some fish at a later time.
