green hawaiian saron shrimp

[martinplayer]

Just got a green hawaiian saron shrimp for my nano reef. The place I bought it said it was reef safe and after doing some research on line, I got mixed reviews on it being reef safe. I have noticed it picking and eating between my zoos and yellow star polyps, but haven't seen it eat any thing. Anyone have any experience with this or know for sure????

Pretty sure they aren't reef safe.

I beleive its a 50/50 shot with sarons. I had a "bullseye" that was fine with my coral. Did go after some smaller fish I had usually at night when they are "sleeping"

Check out this Reefkeeping article: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2007-05/as/index.php

It says Saron marmoratus is destructive and should not be kept with cnidarians or other crustaceans.
