    I added a banded coral shrimp to my tank to eat the bristleworms. He will only stay in corners away from my anthelia corals, which take up most of the center of the tank. Is this because he's getting stung by them?

    No softie is going to deter any shrimp from crossing sitting on them.My cleaner shrimps home is a torch.I've even seen him hanging out in my huge hydnoprora,and the hydno can sting and kill any coral to death.

    no, maybe its just a hinding place for him, lol, when i had mine he stayed in the same spot until night then he would move around, but i got rid of him since i would rather have cleaner shrimp, and others ahah
