Will Occelaris tolerate anemone shrimp?

[iamwhatiam52]

I have a pair of Occs living with a large RBTA. I would like to have a Pedesoni sp. shrimp living with the same anemone but do not know if the fish will stand for it.
Come to think of it, I wonder if the shrimp would like a BTA?

Anyone have experience with this?

Bump.

Anyone tried it?

Most likely will be just fine.
Even my really mean maroon I used to have accepted a nem shrimp and porcelain crab into her nem.
Once in a blue moon I see someone say their clowns did not really like them, sometimes they get pushed to the underside of the nem, but usually still accepted and visible.

I'll give it a whirl!

please post pics if you do, i also have been debating about adding an anemone shrimp to my tank. they seem so fun to watch and it would be nice if they could play nicely with the clowns.

where were you able to find your pedersoni? I have been looking for months with no luck.

Have not seen any lately either. There used to be a guy on eBay who sold them. Also Caribbean Critters or something like that.

I got this guy from Quality marine in L.A.
Maybe you can get someone to order one for you.
