Sexy Shrimp Safe?

[d9sccr]

I was wondering if sexy shrimp would be safe in my aquarium. I have a sebae for them to hide in. The anemone was originally bought for a pair of clownfish that don't seem to want to host in it. Besides the pair of clowns, I have an anthias, a flame angel, and a small orange striped sand-sifting goby. Is there any concern about any of the fish eating the shrimp? There is also a scarlett cleaner shrimp in the tank

Sorry for the novel..any help would be great

Hopefully no one eats them, but they are truly incredibly small.

is it likely that any of the fish would go after them? Can they share an anemone w/ the clowns if they ever decide to host in it

Almost any fish will go after them , they are really small. Usually they have a much better chance if you add them at night, dropping them in during the day makes them appear to be food.

Their 1cm fully stretched out.. but appear smaller since they curl there tail up. Their nice as nano display with no real predator threats.

After they are in the tank though, will the fish hunt them down

Depends on the fish, I would think really small gobies or firefish would be ok but I wouldn't drop them in with my clownfish or gramma.

what's your thought about pistol shrimp

 

[650-IS350]

Most pistols are regarded as safe but I have seen video's in the wild of pistols taking out large cleaners shrimp for dinner. I wouldn't put them either with wrasses, gamma's, pipefishes, or anything regarded as possbile volitile/territorial fish.

I have a pistol/goby combo and a green clown goby in a 24 with a handful of sexies with no troubles.

the sexies should be fine. i made the mistake of putting mine in whith the lights on and let them in from the top. needless to say my clown got one for lunch. now they are fine. travel all over the tank and all the fish pass right by.

okay..thank you very much for the information..I think I'm going to try a few..I'll post to let you konw how it goes

Forgot about this but mine did pick at my feather duster right after I added them, they were bothering it and the next morning the duster's crown was on the ground. It grew back that week and they've left it alone since, maybe just hungry from being shipped and looked like an easy snack.
