Pederson / anemone cleaner shrimp

[SaltyGQ]

Hello,

I was thinking about adding one or two in my tank and wanted to know if anyone has had any experience with them. From what I looked up online they will be fine from predators in my tank. Thanks

I have a similar shrimp, the Spotted Caribbean Anemone Cleaner Shrimp. No one bothers it, they are pretty well protected in their nems, as with sexy shrimps. He hasn't done much cleaning tho... I've seen my borb trying to convince him but no go.

I have no experience on the pairs, but i have tried adding different anemone shrimp and the resident spotted didn't like that. Even the two different kinds I bought were fighting each other during acclimation.

Looks very cool. Where does one get this shrimp?

I'm not sure but they sure are pretty.

They drop on DD regularly, never seen them locally tho.

That doesnt look like a pederson shrimp in that pic... Looks like the one I have, also a very cool shrimp.

I saw a couple at Old Orchard Aquarium like 2 weeks ago. They were around $35 I think. TINY TINY TINY.

I have had these before. They are very very tiny. I would suggest ordering them from a diver in Florida if you can find one. I paid 10 a shrimp when I ordered them 6 months ago.

Do you still have them? Did they not last long? I wouldn't know how to find a diver in Florida. So I think that options out unless I can find one.

one is dropping today on DD, i think they are 20$ on there, the yucatan cleaner shrimp is also dropping

No, I don't have them anymore. They lasted a month or two not sure what happened to them. They are so hard to see sometimes that its hard to keep track on them. I ordered them from the following guy.
