    Default Shrimp combatibility

    We are interested in adding a Skunk Cleaner Shrimp to our reef but we already have a big Coral Banded Shrimp. The Coral Banded runs our reef, he thinks he is the boss! He is not too aggresive but we suspect he may have had something to do with our Arrow Crab's demise. Anyone have luck keeping these two types of shrimp in the same tank? I know that pretty much all shrimp will get along but at $45/cleaner shrimp at our LFS I figure I'd ask first.

    Our reef is a 100g with tons of LR so there is no real concern about lack of space.

    I've read that coral banded shrimp will make short work of cleaner shrimp. But I have no first hand experiance tho.
    If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

    CB shrimp are predators. Cleaners are prey. I'm pretty sure there aren't any success stories.
    I hate hearing people say "it's only a $3/$5/$1 fish/shrimp, so it's ok if it dies, I can just get another." It's still an animal! All animals should be treated like they're worth $10,000.
