SRC Member CalebNg Posted August 16, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted August 16, 2013 Big bros ! I have a purple reef lobster in my tank now . Would it be ok if i get sexy shrimps ? Love or fight ? Thanks for advices ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member iskay Posted August 17, 2013 SRC Member Share Posted August 17, 2013 both are opportunistic feeders. The lobster will eat the shrimp if got the opportunity but I don't think it will actively hunt the shrimps. Further, they have different habitats. Lobsters - rocks and caves. Sexy shrimp - anemone and coral hosts. Should be okay as they will seldom mix. But no guarantee. Quote "Be formless... shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. Water can flow, or it can crash.

SRC Member CalebNg Posted August 17, 2013 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 17, 2013 My tank is small , only 2feet in size and very shallow , so , the sexies & reef lobsters would probably say hello everyday . Thanks iskay ! How about if i provide an anemone for them to live in , would they be protected from the lobster ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jameshong Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Can I keep sexy shrimps with predators if I provide them an anemone ? predator - purple reef lobster about 1.5 inch Not advisable as it's a risk that your sexy shrimp will MIA.

spgohjc Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Do feed your lobster well. But again, if the shrimp wonders into his cave, it might be eaten also. Never know. That's what happened to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
