Can I put 2 of these in my biocube? I got a blood red fire shrimp and I never see him all he does is hide all day.. I debated taking him back but at the lfs they told me he would get unshy over time and start coming out, Is there any truth to this?

Also one of my baby hermit crabs I cant find do they die sometimes when there tiny?

Do you guys think a six line wrasse would be okay in my biocube with my 2 clowns Im gonna grab?
 
Although I can't confirm this I believe my skunk cleaner killed my fire shrimp. They did ok for a few weeks together but I noticed the skunk harassing the fire shrimp after lights out over a couple of nights. A few morning later I saw the fire shrimp was missing its claws and when I came home later that day it was dead. Your fire shrimp will never be out in the open like a skunk cleaner is. My cleaner is all over the place at all times and cleans my Potter's Angel every day at least once.

No telling why your hermit died. Could be that another hermit wanted it's shell. they will take each other out rom time to time.

If you want a 6 line you should add it last. IMO they are not as peaceful as some lead you to believe. If your stock list ends with 2 clowns and a six line you should be ok to add it now because the two clowns will be able to take care of themsleves. If you are planning to have other peaceful fish in the tank, wait on the sixline or take it off the list.
