Blood red shrimp will not be as active in the daylight hours. Both can become potential problems with corals, although not too often. For color, Lysmata debelius. For activity/cleaning, Lysmata amboinensis.
I would go with the cleaner shrimps. My 2 blood shrimps are completely cave potatoes (lazy) ... all they do is rest all day so that they can go hog wild at the evening feeding time.
i vote for Scarlet Skunk! i have both of them (in separte tanks) and the blood shrimp ONLY hides! The blood shrimp is a cool looking shrimp but if it never comes out, its kinda pointless.
I say the skunks do most of the cleaning, while the fires hang around. I have 2 of both in my tank. The skunks are very active during the day, while the fires hide. I am a fan of both so I house both. Occasionally I will cacth all 4 hanging out together in daylight hours but its rare.
I havent had any problems with any of my shrimp(10) and coral. Whenever I feed my anemones I will feed the shrimp first. Also If any of my shrimp tried taking food from my anemones, they would then become food.
