These guys are pretty cool looking and I want one. But I can't find info on tank size, or feeding requirements(or compatibility). I have a 20g, I'm guessing it's too small, but hopeing. Will it live with a damsel or two(they are temporary, but I'm stuck with them for now)? Any info is greatly appreciated. (tried the search, but its busy)

I think you will be fine.

They eat anything they can get their claws on. Reef safe

Do not put two of them in there because they'll fight to the death.

You may also have a problem if you put any other shrimp

Dont trust em 100% myself. I have one that has decided firefish sushi was on the menu, it had 3 helpings of those in one week. The shrimp also decided the little yellow goby was looking tasty and consumed it as well.
On the other fin.....
A friend of mine has two of the little orange clowns that live (and aggrovate) a coral banded to no end. They have been together about a year.
Reef safe?
They are not going to eat corals, .... the fish and inverts, maybe.

sounds like he'll be a good addition to my tank. I dare him to eat my damsels, ha ha ha. Thanks for the info.
