I have one in my nano tank, mostly hangs in my bubble coral and shakes his booty. I have a pistol shrimp, and they get along fine, not sure how one would do with the shrimp you have. Mine eats whatever fish food falls near him. Here's a pic

these are great little shrimps to watch..i had one with a cleaner and pepper...no problems, and no problems with corals..it would hang around the pulsing xenia i had...and they ate whatever was fed to the fish ***)

ive always wanted one, but they never have them in stock on this website. ive also heard that if their not with an anemone, they dont live as long.

Well they live just fine with an anemone or without. I do not have any anemone in my tanks anymore and they do just fine. I find them rather hardy, much hardier than what they give em credit for being. Just because they are small the only thing is fish that may snack on them, other than that, I have some over 4 years of age doing just fine. I make no special considerations for their maintenance either.

alright, thanks guys.
Would it be better with 2? by itself?

Sexy Shrimp are gregarious, so they do better in groups. Its pretty neat to have a "herd" of them in a tank, but two or three is better than just one
