Coral Banded Shrimp?

[b-diddles]

I hear they like to eat bristle worms. Any word on them eating other types like Feather dusters, chrismas clusters or sea slugs?

they eat a bristleworm here and there if they are very tiny. they won't go after a big one. i wouldn't worry about the others. keep the tank fed and the CB won't bother anything.

i used to have tons of bristle worms..you could look a rock and see at least one..got a CBS and he has done an amazing job keeping the numbers down

Like Mr X said as long as they are fed they will be fine.

Big... small... mine doesn't care. My CBS became a meany after about 5 or 6 years. He would pinch all the fish as they swimmed by and catch a ride if he could. I hand fed mine chunks of food.... being well fed doesn't necessarily = safe.

Ditto, I had to get rid of mine because he was being a little you know what to all the fish. He even killed my arrow crab. In the picture next to my name you can see him starting stuff with my sea apple.
