I have 1 Maroon, 1 lawnmower blenny..1 damsel in a 72......from what ive read these would be fine with camel shrimp...anybody have an experience to refute that? thanks

Sounds good to me. with one suggestions. the Damsel can get very mean if you are not careful. will attack fish 4x their size. can be a real pain in the butt to get out at a later date.

yea i may put him in another tank

arent camel shrimp known to eat some corals? Thought it was an issue in the past when someone thought there pepperment shrimp was eating coral, but was mistaken for a camel shrimp....something like that anyways...

Camel shrimp do eat coral, peppermints eat aiptasia and the 2 look very similar.

well in any case...the damsel looks like hes made it his priority to "evict" the shrimp from HIS tank

I second fishdoc... from everything I've read the camels pick at coral and they do indeed look very similar to peppermint shrimp other than a little more of a hump on top of their bodies.
