Camel Shrimp compatible with Sexy Shrimp?

[Bigmike]

Just like the name of the thread, are Camel Shrimp ok with Sexy Shrimp, or would they prey on them?

Also, am I wrong in thinking that Camel Shrimp wont eat SPS? I was under the impression that they only eat soft corals and zoas.

Thanks in advance

Mike

They're really not reef safe.

People use them for cure for AEFW. They place the infected coral in a bucket with a bunch of Camelbacks. The camelbacks will go on the coral , eat the flatworms and eggs. 1hrs at most or else the shrimps will eat the coral too.

To answer your question, they wouldn't harm the sexy shrimp, atleast I don't think.

And It's kind of like yes and no, they will eat soft corals and zoas for sure, but you never know if they're gonna eat your SPS. I would just stay away from them to be safe or be very careful and watch it.
