Mine tries to be aggressive at times, but I think he is just protecting himself. He doesn't bother my other shrimp or any of my fish. I have heard stories of them eating small fish. Some of these stories may just be that the fish died and he picked it up and ate it. If you are worried, get a pair of cleaner shrimp or fire shrimp. They are really fun to watch.

Mine seems pretty passive but I have recently at night seen him around my colonly polyps. Makes me nervous. But he has molted twice and is a beauty to look at.

I had a problem with mine. I saw him rip the antennae off of one of my cleaner shrimp and he used to fight with my maroon clown.
