Coral banded shrimp

[GOSKN5]

So there are some smaller yellow and blue coral banded shrimp... max size 1.5" (according to LA).. anyone ever had one of these?

 

Also, I have heard the horror stories on the big ones.. (eating fish, other shrimp)...any first hand thoughts??

I've never had any trouble out of the ones I've kept. Even the pair I had for a few years were model citizens.

they are more aggressive than the skunk and fire shrimp for sure. I wouldn't keep them mix with other shrimps. I had a big one that will chase after new fish when I add them to the tank.

Anyone have any experience with the small ones shown in the pics?

They're tasty.... but being so small there's not much meat in them, you really have to work for it

I’ve had several. Gold and Blue. Eventually became jerks. I had one snag a brand new clownfish. I didn’t think they could actually catch fish, as soon as I put it in the tank it snagged it with its pincers. Immediately removed and traded in to Marince scene.

Mine was bigger, but they grew really quickly for me. Seemed like it was constantly molting
