Saron (marble) Shrimp

[josee1013]

Hi!
I'm planning to add a male and female marble (Saron) shrimp to my reef... anyone have those? any bad experience?
wanted to make sure it will not eat any LPS, SPS or clams...

thanks

I would think on adding this type of shrimp carefully depending on what is in your tank. While many places like liveaquaria say they are reef safe, if you read on wet web media they talk about how they can bully bottom dwelling creatures and bother clams.
WWM classified them as unsafe toward "benthic invertebrates"


I always thought they were cool but read too many negative stories on them to deep them safe for a mixed reef tank. Maybe a species tank or one with certain livestock, but not my main reef.

Best of luck with what you decide
