The are a nice addition to your tank. I have 2 of them in my tank and they get along with everyone. They do tend to hide alot in the live rock but when you put food in the tank they go crazy trying to crab as much as possible. If you want something that is bright red and colorful I would highly recommend them. I purchased mine from SWF.com so if they are cheaper then your fish store I would just order them here.

I located a pair locally a few months ago after considering them for a long time. Mine were $20 each(which is a good price)...they tend to hide during the day but always come out when the tank is fed...great additions in my opinion. I keep mine with a pair of skunks and 5 peppermints.If I can locate a pair of sexys I plan to add them also. I really like the diversity of having several shrimp along with a sane collection of fish...numerous corals...and assorted snails/crabs.

No, no tricks. Just really really intense red coloration. Look here!

i actually have a fire and a skunk cleaner and they hang out together constantly (even eating off the same formula 2 cubes) i have heard this is abnormal but it keeps me from having to get another one.
and $60 is outragiuos i got both mine for $35 when they were only 3/4 of an inch long.

I got mine from this site. It is just beautiful. he hangs out on the side of the tank so it's a good place where I can see him. I also have a cbs, peperment,2 pistol shrimps,and a skunk. I have not had any problems with any of them yet. I too would love to add some sexy shrimp or some anemone shrimp as soon as swf gets some in. I have a rbta waiting for them.
