My personal experience is that the coral banded shrimp will snip off the feelers of the cleaner shrimps.

I introduced one into my tank which has a large blood shrimp and before long the coral banded had snipped off the feelers of the blood shrimp though the blood shrimp was so much bigger than the coral banded shrimp.

time to let an old thread see the light of day again.

Hello everyone.

A few questions about the Coral Banded Shrimp or Banded Boxer Shrimp.

1. I've read about them being very territorial. Is is true that they can only be kept as an individual or only as a m/f pair?

2. For those who have had experience keeping these pretty shrimp, are they really very aggressive towards other shrimps and smaller inverts like crabs and hermits?

3. Is there any special requirements food wise for these pretty guys?

4. Would they be attacked by clownfish or even Watchman Gobies?

Those of you who have these awesome inverts or have had them before, please help answer my questions.

I know I can get my answers off the net but I would really appreciate answers from reefers with the experience.

FOWLR Tank : Decom

Invert Tank: Decom

Current Tank: 2 ft with 2ft sump, 2 pyjama Cardinals, 1 Watchman Goby, 8 sand gobies, common saltwater shrimps, 3 turbo snails. 1 super green paly
