| Re: Shrimp Nitrate Tolerance
Shrimp are theives and can be aggressive about stealing food. The cleaners (Lysmata sp.) are still good to have IMO, just feed them first to keep them away from corals you are feeding. The banded shrimps (Stenopus sp.)can be quite aggressive and may attack shrimp, snails, worms and certainly their own kind. Don't get any of the Camelbacks (Rhynchocinetes sp) as they prey on corals and polyps and are not reef safe.
