thx

 

[RyanMcLaughlin]

Trust me sentencedme. I thought that too and came home to my 8 dollar crab eating my 20 dollar shrimp. I was only gone for a few hours and he had already eaten the head and he didnt want to give it up either. Mine didnt eat any fish but I have seen videos of them doing it. Fish like firefish etc.

1) Cleaner Shrimp
2) Fire Shrimp


3) Sally Lightfoot Crab
4.) Peppermint
5.) Arrow Crab




The bottom 3 can and probably will eat/harass either your fish or your corals.

Sally are fast enough to catch smaller fish. My friend watched his sally catch his 6-Line Wrasse.

Arrow Crabs can attack fish and other inverts.

Peppermint shrimp will pick on coral and anenomies.

1.) Cleaner Shrimp - very best. will clean your hands and they are always out.

2) Peppermint - cheap! but shy, the only one that can serve a purpose.

3.) Fire Shrimp- I love the look of them but very timid. I only see mine when I feed
4.) Sally Lightfoot Crab - Heard stories about them eating fish but don't like the look of them and never had one.
5.) Arrow Crab - Evil! They get big I mean really big. Mine was the size of a softball. At that point it could eat anything. I finally got rid of them when I saw it pulling corals out. bad boy
