Banded Coral Shrimp with Fire Shrimp

[zrob4]

I ahve a 180 reef with a banded coral shrimp and two skunk cleaners they have been in the tank for about a month and a half. Would I be able to add two fire shrimp to this mixture?

Sure, I don't see why you couldn't unless the cbs turns against them. But I don't think you'll have a problem in a 180.

I had the exact same arrangment and got 2 fireshrimp. Both the FS were killed, then the 2 cleaner shrimp, leaving the CB shrimp to rule the roost. I never saw any of them being consumed, and I do have a 4" Melanurus wrasse. I have seen both the wrasse and the CB shrimp attack hermits, but never one of the other shrimps. So I don't really know what occurred, but with the CB still living fat and happy, he is on my A list for the perp.!

Those five shrimp should all be ok with eachother. I have a full grown coral banded with two skunk cleaners in a 46 gallon, and everything is perfect. So go for it, there should be no problem. but occasionally when the coral banded gets hungry, it will chase after any small fish or shrimp nearby, but never succeeds in catching them. I also have sexy shrimp, peppermint and 3 anemone shrimps in there and no problem with those.
