    In a 75 gal with 1 B&W ocellaris pair, 3 cleaner shrimp, 1 red banded pistol shrimp, 1 flaming prawn goby, 1 blue spotted jaw fish, 1 male ventralis anthias, 1 golden tonga blenny, 1 decorator crab ( taking a chance), a clean up crew, and probably polyps, sponges, anemones, tunicates (maybe). Is there any flaw besides me dropping some serious $$$$$????

    Maybe a conflict between the pistol and the cleaner shrimps?

    Sounds like a great stock list to me, I don't see any problems. I haven't heard of any other reports of pistols attack other shrimp except for that one youtube video so I'm guessing there's a good chance it will be OK, but you never know! :)

    well I think that is in the wild where the pistol has evolved thinking the main food source is cleaner shrimp

    For my corals i feed coral freenzy every other day, as for the fish i would try and get some rods food or make your own. Frozen brine and mysis and krill also works as well.

    If I had a 10 gal refugium filled with cope/amphipods and mysis shrimp, would I have to feed mysis regularly?
