Coral banded and Cleaner?

[scarter]

are the coral banded and cleaner shrimps compatable. I have some peppermint with the banded. he does not bother them, but they hide most of the time. are these guys compatable?

Coral Shrimps are very territorial and sometimes just downright mean. I wouldn't suggest putting the Cleaner and Coral together. I have done that before with pretty good luck, but I have seen him actually attack a cleaner for no apparent reason

well, I have a 200 gal. I know that the banded has made house on the far right side of the tank. if I drop the cleaner on the left will he stick to that side or do they roam? I think if he sets up station on the left they will propably never even see eachother

cleaner is in. so far they havent even seen eachother

im just gonna talk to myself here.
well they did not stay seperated like I had hoped, they actually have made ahome on the same rock. Funny thing is, trhe banded is actually afraid of the cleaner shrimp. He darts backwords whenever the cleaner makes a fast move. I guess we just wait and see what happens from here
