6 line and corals

csmfish · 05/05/2010, 04:38 PM

Do they pick on anything? Was especially curious about feathers.

Also read they go after shrimp?

I owned my six-line for a bit over 3 years (before it decided to practice its high jump), and never had a problem with any of my corals. I didn't have any feather dusters, though. The shrimp I would be concerned with. I'm pretty sure he took out at least a couple peppermint and cleaner shrimp. I didn't think it would be a problem since the shrimp were as big as he was, but I guess I was wrong.

I have a six line in my 150 tank with three individual feather dusters and a group of colony feather dusters as well as several peppermint shrimp, two cleaner shrimp, and a blood shrimp and as far as I can tell, he's never gone after any of them. I might just have an exceptionally peaceful six liner, but I've never had a problem with him messing with any of my inverts.

I have a 6-line in my 55 with several shrimp and a few feather dusters. Never had a problem with mine.
