They have them at our reef shop. I asked about them and I think the response I got was that they eat corals??? I could be wrong though, I am just a newb. at the reef scene.

Scrape what I just said. I now recall that they were sexy shrimp and from what I just read the reef shop gave me inaccurate info. They seem to be fine in a reef environment.

If I remember correctly they are hard to keep alive.
I'll try to remember to look them up in my book tonight and let you know what Anthony Calfo and Robert Fenner have to say.

I couldn't tell from the photo, but they do look a lot like my sexy shrimp. If that is what they are, mine have been very hardy. I have them in my anemone tank. They are very small, and some fish will eat them. They are really fun to have 'cause no one sees them until they have already been at the tank for a long time. The reaction when they see them is priceless.
