ISO Periclimenes spp. shrimp for ricorida?

madequity · 09/19/2006, 06:09 PM

I posted this a few days ago in the Corallimorpharians Forum but had no luck so thought I would post here in the general forum.

Looking to acquire a few Periclimenes shrimp to add to my growing population of Ricordia. Understand in the Carribean this is a quite common relationship where the shrimp will use the Ricordia as host. Does anyone have this relationship currently in their tank that you can comment on and/or does anyone know where to acquire these shrimp?

Thanks in advance.

Yes.

I have several Periclimines shrimp in two tanks. If there is no anemone, or if Nemo chases them out of one they will host almost anything........ Ricordia, softies, hydroid colony, even a plate coral.
