Harlequins have a very specialized diet. I'd leave that one alone... Ps, what's a sea urchant? Lol

Sorry jeez. Thought I answered your question. No don't get one. Also ill add Yes coral banded shrimp would probably kill it anyway.

I have kept harleys and they are pretty tough but I wouldnt trust a banded. Lose the banded harleys are way cooler.

CBS can be quiet aggressive, and harleys are dosile, I probably wouldn't risk it.

I had a CBS for a while and loved him. Then I bought 3 Cleaner Shrimp and the CBS constantly harrassed them....so he had to go. They are a cool invert, but not compatible with smaller inverts or small fish....

Even the smaller species golden cb's are agressive. He stole my skunk in the darkness of night.

My CBS is a jerk to everyone in the tank except my LMB, probably because he would put the CBS in its place. I plan on moving the CBS back to my coral tank once it is up and running again.

Definitely would not trust the CBS with a Harley even if they have never shown any aggression to other tankmates to date.
