During feeding, my coral beauty was chasing my cleaner shrimp away, not wanting to give up his dinner. Two hours later, I guess it's not too bad having the shrimp around.

Sorry for the bad cell phone pic.

Wish I had my new camera, some zoom action would be great. For those of you that say saltwater sucks, you can't discount the amazing symbiosis that occurs in the SW environment.

Cleaner Wrasse and grouper
Cleaner Shrimp and angels
Coral and Algae
Remora and shark

I love my FW fish the most, but the SW behavior is amazing.
 
very cool
 
It is. Not as great as an Aro devouring it's prey, but SW has it's charm too.
 
Will they fight with my small hermits?

Arrow crabs are cool. They will eat bristle worms and hermits and snails if they are really hungry but this usually is not a problem.

I have also heard but never seen myself that they can spear fish with there rostrum!

Agree, but I also have not had any problems with the arrow myself ever. Cleaner shrimp will be fine, the arrow will hang out under rock work upside down in his favorite area. They will also eat those ugly pineapple sponges that will grow on your rock and pumps.
 
Here is my dream tank, let me know if these are compatible:

cleaner wrasse
dwarf lionfish
coral beauty
flame angel
1 pair percula clowns
royal gramma

What size do I need for this mess?
