Shrimp with a carpet?

[BloatedSwimBladder]

I have a green carpet anenome (Haddoni) that is the star attraction in my tank. Ltely I have been very interested in adding some cleaner shrimp or coral banded shrimp to my tank.

Will these shrimp just end up being a snack for the carpet?

Anyone have any experience with shrimp and carpets?

It is very possible. I know the last time I tried to add peppermint shrimp a few years ago, they were eaten in very short order by my sebae anemone. S. haddoni is more capable at capturing prey, so I would say the chances are proportionally higher with them.
