    So I really like the Sexy Shrimp but I don't have any coral... Can I have a Sexy Shrimp without coral??? Or would that be bad for the Sexy Shrimp

    Double check that your fish will not attack the shrimp before purchasing. They should be OK if your fish will not bother them.

    So it should be fine with out coral or aneomies? Because, I don't want to purchase something that I can't provide for.

    Yeah, they are fine w/o any type of coral or nem but they are very small so depending on the size of your fish, it would be a nice meal for them.

    You can always throw a couple chocolate chip starfish in the sump and cut the arms off slowly to feed them. Still kind of pricey though.

    my clownfish is about an inch long give or take a few cms, But my question is is that a lot of plaxes say clownfish won't bother them. Or is it just the tomateos???
