    Thinking of geyting some cleaner shrimp an i am wondering if there are any that are beyond the normal ones you see in LFS that are great looking specimens.

    Currently have 2 harlequin. Obviously not cleaners but thought i would cut that suggestion off :p

    your aware that harelquin shrimps diet strictly revolves around eating starfish correct? Id becareful cause those shrimps are very hard to take care of imo. However, if ur looking for a simple cleaner shrimp, just go with the Scarlet cleaner. My Blood Fire Shrimp cleans nothing...

    Yup, try to research everything before I buy. They having been doing well and molting.

    The emperor looks cool but I dont think i could successfully keep it at this point. Not to mention the price tag!
