Can a Sexy Shrimp live in a frogspawn?    I just read where they will host lps or an anemone...just want another opinion

When I had my torch my three sexies loved it, after the torch died they sort of just meandered around like homeless bums  but since adding my frogspawn they are constantly on it day and night, so I would say %100 yes they can.

They are usually kept in small groups a lot of people keep them in 3s or 5s, they are social because they are so small and feel safer in numbers according to all of the description pages out there. And usually like hosting with anemones but will substitute for a lot of different corals. They breed in captivity well too males are smaller and thinner with a full white band on their abdomen while the females are bigger and more round with a broken stripe on the abdomen. Throw them in the tank and feed them well and they will do a little more then dancing haha.

They are a great addition to a nano, I love mine and they are very friendly too I've seen them chilling out with my anemone shrimp sharing some food flakes haha. Though I have to say I prefer pom pom crab dancing haha, and you should get an acro crab it's something different!

 I have two, and they are always alternating between my pink creeping gorgonian and my purple mushrooms. Its so funny to watch them dance around them.

they are a great choice for frogspawn according to my LFS.

burrito I have a difficult time understanding you. glad your adding your thought to the world, but maybe using whole words may help. Just a suggestion though, and with no offense.
