I got two of these lil guys today and thinking about getting some more! They are so neat. This one has found a quick home in my gsp and the other loves the torch.

I also got one of the Mccoskers Flasher Wrasse, but so far he is hiding.

Sweet!!! :thumbsup:

Are these the guys that eat starfish? There's one shrimp that I really like, but they eat starfish.

How many are left now? When I was there earlier this week I bought one (picking it up during the meeting tomorrow) and there were only 3 left.

I'm pretty sure there was at least one Mccosker left and a real nice carpenter wrasse that I would have gotten but I didnt want to put him in a 24g.

I don't know much about the sexy shrimp and was wondering how they do in large tanks stocked with other shrimp, crabs, larger reef safe fish, etc. Is the sexy shrimp reef safe? What do they eat?

Are they easily preyed upon by other inhabitants? I was wondering because of their size.

I think they would get lost in a large tank and could most likly be eaten by a large fish.

They eat pellets and frozen foods

Are you talking about the bumblebee or the harliquen? The bb will take prepared food and is very cool (Bennihanna has one) The haliquen is also way up the cool ladder but I have not seen them take anything but starfish.:frog:

Looks like a clown anemone shrimp. They will eat most any prepared meaty food. Here is a photo of mine. It cleans around the mouth of the anemone and feeds on brine shrimp or waterever I feed the anemone.

It was the harliquen I was thinking of. Very nice looking shrimp! But I want to keep all my stars.
