cleaner shrimp question

[DaveAngie79]

i bought 2 new cleaner shrimp farley small they were about 1in long they are always together. do they pair up like some fish? if so will thay mate? is so will the ofspring survive in a reef tank with non aggressive fish? they are now about 2in long and moulting like crazy

Yes, some of the shrimp will indeed breed in captivity. The larva/fry are great food for clowns!
