Lets Talk Sexy Shrimp!!

As a newbie to world of sexy shrimp I wish to find out as much as I can about them befor purchasing them. So far I have found out that they do best in groups of 3-6 and sometimes host corals or Anenomys. I belive that they eat meaty foods and requier proper iodine levels, (i dont know what these levels might be). Many people said that it is almost essential to run carbon in your system to remove copper. If annybody has anny first hand expericences with these guys i should know about or anny other information it would be greatly appreaciated. Pics and vids would be helpfull to.

Thanks Taylor

A nano cube with coral is probably a great setup for them. They love anemones and do great on mini carpet anemones as they don't get lost in the tentacles and you can view them easily. Its hard to find fish that won't eat them and you have to go with small fish. Neon gobies would be a good addition with them.
