Blood Red Fire Shrimp and Skunk cleaner in FOWLR, no problem right?

[lennyd4]

I have a 65g FOWLR with a skunk cleaner shrimp. I am looking to add another shrimp, preferrably the blood red fire shrimp. There shouldnt be an issues with the 2 right?

I had a pair of skunks and bunch of red fire shrimps and one coral banded (huge). I think all they've ignored or avoided each others.
But that's my experience, let's see what others will tell.

Thanks for the quick reply. Thinking about adding it tomorrow.

Nothing is 100% in this hobby just like nothing is really 100% reef safe.. Something always eat something on a reef but it really comes down to is it safer? In this case i would say safer plus with that size tank

I have kept fire shrimp and cleaner shrimp together and you probably won't have a problem. However you stated it is a FOLWR tank, are there any fish in there that might cause a problem?

Nope, no fish that should be of concern. Non have picked on the skunk cleaner yet either so.

I have pairs of three species: Scarlet Skunk, Coral Banded and Blood/Fire. All live in relatively peaceful harmony.

It shouldn't be a problem. I currently have both in my tank. In the past I had a huge coral banded that chased a cleaner shrimp every time it seen it.
