    Wait the cbs are not friendly? I just got one becasue I thought they play well with others? I have 2 cleaner shrimp and 2 pepermints in the 220 reef tank. Is the cbs a bad idea?

    I agree with irr0001. In my experience, the Coral Banded Shrimps tend to be agressive in smaller tanks when someone intrudes on their turf.
