can you mix cleaner shrimp and coral bandeds? Or even still can you mix cleaner shrimp with arrow crabs?
Mixing cleaner shrimp with coral banded?
- Thread starter jworth
- Start date
how big is the tank? If it's a 4ft tank it should be ok. the shrimp should stay on opposite sides. As for the arrow, that should be fine in a larger tank as well I assume but I'm not 100% on that. If you have corals though I would try to get the arrow out. As they grow, they are not so coral safe.

The tank is a 6' 125. The only shrimp that I have now is a cleaner. I didnt know that about the arrow crabs, so I wont be considering them, however still curious about the coral banded combo.
talked to the saltwater guy I work with at my LFS. He say as long as the tank is 4' or more the shrimp combo will work.
I know that in my 30 cubed, my coral banded will kill any shrimp or crab I put in there.
But your tank is much bigger, so it might work.

Coral banded's are just jerks in general.
I would stay away. Too bad you didnt say something sooner, I had a coral banded in my FOWLR, but got rid of it with my groupers and triggers.

my coral banded has not shown any interest in my fire shrimp in a standard 75g
