    This message is to all my fellow anemone lovers...GET A BUTT LOAD OF SEXY SHRIMP!! I just bought three yesterday and they are the best ever...they do a lil dance at each other and dance all over the tentacles of my Haitian anemone...i thought that my anemone crab would disapprove of their company but he seems to enjoy them and shows no aggression...anyone else have good experiences with these cool shrimp? any one know what not to put in the tank with them?

    No experience here. They do sound awesome. Got a video of them?

    Due to their size, I prefer them in nano tanks. However, they are intriguing animals. Their dance is how they got their nickname as "sexy" shrimp.

    I wouldn't put them with a coral banded shrimp but otherwise are pretty peaceful!

    +1. Everytime I see my CBS's molt in my bubble coral, I hope he's with it.

    I actually have a medium size coral banded also and he doesnt bother them at all...when i first put them in he thought i was feeding and went after them, but as soon as she saw them dart to the anemone she hasn't bothered them since...although she is a pretty non-aggressive CBS...not to mention the sexy shrimp are FAST
