What shrimp are considered reef safe, and any suggestions as to what kind to get. In my 55g, I have:
2 clowns
1 coral beauty angel
1 lawnmower blenny
1 neon damsel
numerous hermits (both scarlet and blue legged)
ricordia mushrroms
hairy mushrooms
colt coral
hammar coral
candela coral
zoos
Thanks for any help

Just a few more to add to the above lists:
Sexy shrimp
Pederson's Anemone shrimp
Harlequin shrimp, unless you have stars
Camel-Back shrimp are not reef-safe.

I don't think peppermint shrimp are reef safe also. I had 2 of them a while back and after eating all the aptaisia they ate my yellow polyps and my featherdusters.

yeah, I hat emy peppermint shrimps. I put in 3 to eat the aptasia, which they did, but they eat all sorts of other things too. I've gotten rid of two of them but haven't yet been able to catch the third one.

My camelback shrimp don't eat anything but the flakes the fish miss and the seafood I spot feed them with.
