    I have a small cleaner(Lysmata amboinensis ) in one of our smaller tanks. We are going to break it down as it is really our hospital tank. The question I have is, can I put him in our DT which already has one cleaner, and a coral banded?

    The coral banded is what I'd worry about but if there are hiding places ? It should be fine.

    cleaners would be fine together but the coral banded I would definately worrie about that and since they can even become agressive enough to where they will take out small fish
