sexy shrimp vs pompom crab

[SAZAMA]

can I keep a sexy shrimp and a pompom crab ???? or will the pompom eat the sexy shrimp ?????

I know of a LFS that keeps them together. I've never seen the two interact aggressively with each other while I was there.

I have both together and they haven't bothered each other.

watch out on the sexy shrimp. they eat LPS. i just found two of ours eating a blaustamosa and one was eating an acan. Bastards. Big mistake.

watch out if you have LPS.

I have never heard of sexy shrimp eating a LPS, or any coral for that matter. As the site that you link to mentions, some LPS may get annoyed by the attention of a sexy shrimp (i.e. the sexy shrimp walking over it) and, like any shrimp, I suppose the sexy may steal food from coral from time to time, but actually feed on the coral? Are you certain you did not misinterpert what was happening?
