Re: Coral Banded Shrimp
It's probably a hit or miss thing. Mine has been a model citizen, but I've heard a lot of people have bad experiences with them too.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Re: Coral Banded Shrimp
Thx Fin. I read a lot of mixed opinions. The most prevalent thing I read was that they were "cave dwellers" which I have about 4 of in my tank, based on the way my rock is set up. So I bought him anyway...I had him on a 3 1/2 hour drip and just put him in a few mins ago. I suppose if my hammer is missing a few tentacles, I know the reason.

Re: Coral Banded Shrimp
I got one, he never attacked any of my fish or corals.
Just remember to feed them well!
Would you live in a moderate size house with no bathroom? if not, then do what is right! Let your tank cycle for one month. Respect the fish! ;)

Re: Coral Banded Shrimp
When I got mine, I bought a small container of feed pellets that are supposed to be specific for crustaceans. Each day at feeding time, I drop one in near the CBS. I've never caught him attacking anything. He will posture when a fish gets too close to his cave, but it's all for show. I keep him well fed and he rewards me with good behavior.
