How harmful are hydra to cherry shrimp?

[barthur33]

Just noticed hydra in my cherry shrimp tank. I've heard different opinions on it, some say it's not harmful, others say it could be dangerous to baby shrimp. Just want a handful of opinions. I've got soooo many reeeaally tiny shrimp, and am hesitant to do too much with the tank since obviously everything else is going fine. Thanks in advance!

I'd be more worried about your ACFs, eventually will probably eat everything in there!

LOL! My ACF's are in totally different tanks! The adult are in my 55, and the 2 young ACF's are in a 10. The cherry shrimp tank that has the hydra is my 29 gallon that is strictly cherry shrimp and snails.
