Pseudochromis fridmani

will a pseudochromis fridmani eat my inverts and/or corals ? cleaner and fire shrimp?

I have kept them for years along side cleaner shrimp and fire shrimp without problems.

When I had a 125g reef tank my Frimandi would swim out and about in the tank. Since I got the 400 I have had several different Frimandi - including 3 at a time, and they have found territories that they staked out and kept to those areas without swimming out in the open.

At one point I was lucky enough to get a wild pair - and those 2 found a spot in the back of the tank, facing the back of the tank they called home, and I only caught a glimpse of them rarely when struggling to look for them.

When they are out and about they are stunning fish. And I think the wild ones have a little deeper coloring and more brilliant metallic blue eye lines.

I, too, have kept P. fridmani with coral and inverts without issue. I think you should be fine.

Its a great fish! I have one from ORA. They are a bit reclusive. No problems with corals. Not sure about shrimp as I have none.

Should be safe with larger shrimp like skunk cleaners and bloods but I wouldn't risk it with sexy or bumblebees etc. They won't hurt your corals at all.
