info on coral banded shrimp please

[new2scene]

i would like to get a coral banded shrimp as my first addition along with some snails but i'm afraid i don't know anything about them do i have to feed them and what ,are they good for a newbie.

I know they can be rather aggressive, and get quite large. Cleaner shrimp would be my first choice, and in a pair.

thanks i got 2 camel shrimp. I saw reef lobsters aren't they cute. purple and orange coloured are they okay to get with fish or no.

If you want to keep other inverts and small fish, I'd stay away, my coral banded killed a 2 cleaner shrimp, a fire shrimp, porcelein crab and a royal gramma basslet, so be careful

Make sure you watch your camel shrimp if you keep corals cuz they will munch away at polyps
