    CBS may kill other shrimp and very small fish.

    fireshrimp?(not sure if this is compatible with other shrimp or not)

    Don't do it. That "reef safe" lobster is a nightmare creature on your CUC. I owned one for about 2 hours after getting advice from the LFS that it would eat waste food and cleanup and be generally good.

    Within minutes of being in the tank after acclimating it had killed my light-foot crab.

    I guess if you want to just dump money into other invertebrates to feed it then by all means, but don't expect harmony with it.
