Monkey shrimp

Anyone have these? Are they cool? Behavior?
I was thinking about getting a couple of these guys.

what are you calling monkey shrimp (comon names stink)?
are you talking about Saron sp shrimp, the mottled brown or green little guys from hawaii?
these are cool sjhrimp which hide most of the time and will eat small polyps and zooanthids, if you don't have that type of coral in the tank they will do Okay, but need to be feed meaty foods

Yeah, those are the guys I'm talking about, sorry I could have been more specific with the name.
I don't have any corals or plan to have any in the near future. However, if all they do is hide, they're not going to be very appealing to me. Thanks for the info.
