Good tank mates
A peaceful, reef-safe cleaner shrimp that is welcomed by most community fish and will set up a cleaning station to pick parasites and dead tissue off tangs, wrasses, and other willing fish. It is safe with corals and other peaceful inverts. The main danger is the other way around: keep it away from known shrimp-eaters like large hawkfish, lionfish, big wrasses, triggers, groupers, and predatory crabs, which will hunt it.
Good to know
These shrimp run actual cleaning stations and will climb right into a fish's mouth and gills to pick off parasites, and they are simultaneous hermaphrodites that can pair up to breed.
