Skunk/Coral Banded Shrimp??

[theappe]

Can I keep a coral banded together with a skunk cleaner shrimp?

i have kept them together with no problems because my cleaner was too fast for the cb....but i have read of others without the same luck.......its really up to u

Not a good idea, CBS can be killers when they get bigger.

My coral b. took out my cleaner shrimp. Or at least I saw him devouring the remains one morning when I woke up. Afterwards I had a friend tell me about another friend of his that claimed his Coral B. killed his angel. He hasn't bothered any of my fish. So i've assumed it was just the shrimp vs. shrimp scenerio.

I have a mated pair of CBS that were living fine with 2 cleaner shrimp, 1 fire red shrimp and a pistol shrimp in a 75 gal tank. I never had any problems. There was a lot of live rock and places for all the shrimp to hide. That could make a difference I guess. I just move the pair into a new 75 I just set up.
