Coral Banded shrimp Reef Safe?
Are coral Banded Shrimp Reef safe. I have read that they destroy infauna in your sand and can tear apart anemones and corals.
Is that all true? Thanks. p.s. I have a Niger Trigger that is living fine with it. |

TOTALLY! i have a niger, dwarf lion fish and a coral banded and they live together fine. also have 3 anenomes the whole nine. no problems. they find a place to call h ome and stay there all the time during the day. usually at night they run around the reef.

The reason why I say are they reef safe bc it picked at my Condy Anemone last night about 5 times with its pincher but quickly pulled away bc I think it got stung.
