last time i went they said they didnt have them in for a while
That's weird. I've never seen a store that didn't have at least a few in stock. My problem is that they're always $20. Awesome little shrimp, but you've got to acclimate them very slowly or else they won't make it. And they've come a long way and cost a lot of money to be lost that easily.

wow how slow should i acclimate them ?
I drip them after losing one (smacks head) from not acclimating slowly enough (bag dip menthod over 20 minutes or so). Now I drip everything maybe one drip a second. I know thats probably very conservative, but I have yet to lose anything to acclimation (including shrimp and a blue linckia starfish that already looked beaten to hell).

hi ill take it
That I can not be 100% sure, but I got it to help my clowns out. They developed some white spots on them (not sure if it was due to waterchanges back then b/c i had no sump and it would off set the temp.) My clowns as well as damsels are all looking great. I took it out because I didn't like it picking at my corals when I fed the tank. Scavengers, what can I say? lol
