Everything I've red about scarlets recomends keeping them in small groups, though I have presonaly seen scarlets being eaten by other larger shrimp... it was a red one, but cant remeber if it was a pepermint or a "blood red fire" shimp.
Thats funny kevin that we have heard exact opposite opinions. I have never kept them in a tank with more than one and never had a problem. I didnt say they couldnt be housed together, its just recommended that you introduce them at the same time or as a pair...apparently. Again...via my sources.
Well I never said intoduce at dif times, lol but I don't see why not. Scarlet/skunk are the same thing or atleast they are when I'm talking about them.
I would attempt to get that water temperature down...I start to get nervous if my reef gets over 80...but thats because keeping things consistent is important for the overall health and growth of my corals.
