cleaner shrimp and coral banded, compatible?

[randolph]

i have a coral banded and was thinking of adding a few cleaner shrimps will they get along

I have 1 CBS and 3 cleaner shrimps living together for half a year. No problems. You can have them.

I have had CBS with cleaners and have never had a problem. some people will tell you horrow stories about CBS but for me they have never been a problem and I wouldn't have a reef without one.

You can have them together, you just need to have a big enough tank where they will have their territory, I have kept cleaners and CBS together with no problems, but I do think you need a big enough tank where they will not fight.

I have both in my 180g and everything is fine. However, I also had them in my 35g hex before I transfered them. My mother has both in her 29g. So I think you'll be fine.

I have one of each in my 72 bow front. They live right next door to each other on the same l/r.

I tried keeping the two together on advice from this board and it definately did not work lol. The cbs ate the cleaner shrimp after about 3 days.
