Sexy Shrimp questions

[TOURKID]

hi all really want to purchase 5 or so sexy shrimp

Ive been reading, and it says they like anemones
this bothers me. what doi they do with the anemone?
If i have a really hostile female maroon hosting it, will they stay away?

anything I should know about them before i get them?

1 marron
1 bta anemone
15 or so hermits
6 astria snails
lots of pods and bristle worms

and...

they host anem's and corals (if you don't have anem's), similar to clowns. your clown will most likely eat the shrimp if the fish has any size to it. the shrimp are tiny, they are cute though. i had some for a while (yearish).

they are best appreciated in a display of their own
I have a dozen or so in a 10gal.
they're kinda territorial and tend to pair off
ive never seen one kill another tho, just chase each other away

so- setup another 10

I have three in my 12 nano. They stay mostly on the flower anemone. I also have 2 small clowns in the tank and they never bother the shrimp. I love watching the shrimp.
