Coral banded shrimp

[WJC02]

Has anybody ever had any issues with a Coral banded shrimp? I have one in my 24g and I noticed it was acting territorial to the new fish and inverts that were added. I am also begging to think that it was the cause of the death of a maroon clown, four damsels, two chromos, and a six line wrasse. Devastating, right? Just added two perculas, a banded goby, a pistol shrimp, and a clown goby. Are they known to hunt at night? I don't want to wake up to a bunch of dead fish. Thanks.

All shrimp are territorial to a point. I've never had a Coral Banded actually kill anything but they are very successful scavengers especially since they have claws. I'd keep an eye on your pistol shrimp.

Harsh, I'm watching mine now. He's trying to intimidate the new arrivals.

That's one of my favorite shrimp always had one before and never had a problem with it picking on any of my fish or inverts. Want to buy one either for my 40 breeder or my 20 long.
