Saron Or Monkey Shrimp Questionable Reef Safe ?

[wnppmy]

Been in my tank several months, no issues todate. Mostly nocturnal does now frequent daytime. Did clean some of my rocks from algae and buildup, scavengers well, so far a welcome addition, caution may eat selective coral.

Any other experiences greatly appreciated, I don't see a lot of data on this one.

Live aquaria says not reef safe, but Im not sure why.

Tnx for your reply.

Might be selective corals also mentioned if not fed as enough food might be abit aggressive, hope to have reply from those with past experience with this one.

Like the way mine scavengers on any excess food. Really blends into the rock, cool dude.

If he turns out to be a predator or something dangerous, maybe setup a 5-10g nano tank for him!

Here's a quote from WetWebMedia—
"Saron shrimp are categorically un-safe with benthic invertebrates. They are generally opportunistic and commonly attack bivalves (including Tridacnid clams), harass other bottom dwelling fishes and invertebrates. And frankly are opportunistic scavengers/bullies. Anthony"
