Any one hear of this?

I just witnessed my coral banded shrimp pull a hermit crap out of its shell and put it in its mouth. I ran and got the camera and got a photo but you cant tell from the photo and the shrimp when back behind the rocks. It was pretty darn cool.

0_o. I have seen my mantis pull hermits out of their obliterated shells...but not a coral branded. Cool.

I could not keep fire shrimp or cleaner shrimp until after I got rid of my Coral banded shrimp.

yeah, I was told not to put a coral banded with my cleaner and peppermint shrimps.

If you have a pair they are less likely to attack other shrimp. I have both peps and skunks with my BC pair, no problems.

I had an exyremely large banded coral shrimp, which attacked a small percula clownfish. The clown later died from his injury...

 

[Reef4Fun]

I'd never heard that but it seems to be true. I adopted a pair of CB in July. They hang out together and don't bother the peppermints or goby.

Several years ago I had an extra large coral banded for 2-3 years in a 75. I don't think I ever had any peppies then but he never bothered any small fish or the hermit.
