I had a really mean CB shrimp. He would indeed pinch the fish, sometimes so hard he would hitch a ride across the tank before letting go, but he never really hurt anything.... no more than a pinch hurt. He pinched me everytime I hand fed him. All the fish and him were together for 6-7 years.

unless the 2 clowns r super small, i dont see how the cbs can eat them.

my cb only killed my arrow crab. everything else he left alone.

My CB harms nothing in my tank.I don't think he'll hurt your clowns.

My CB hasn't killed anything that I have found out about yet!

He pinches at a few fish just to defend his territory but that's about it.

I have kept a CBS with a pair of false percs for close to a year. I don't think he could catch them if he wanted to.

I have one that is also on the meaner side... always grabbing at my fish. Totally has the chance to eat them but just aggervates them... I think it did kill my arrow crab tho... one morning he was just dead?? now that i see someone else lost an arrow, Id have to say that CBS are not Arrow crab safe

i heard, that those two(arrows and cb's) are mortal enemies, and cannot be placed in the same tank. the funny thing is, my arrow crab was huge. i thought for sure he would mangle the cb if he ever got into a tussle with him.

i have a cbs and he did kill one of my false percs but i just replaced the perc with another that was a little bigger .In my opinion if he could catch it he will eat it , but every since i replaced the perc everything has been fine.
Everybody has percs and cbs.LOL.
