I've had, at one time or another, sexy shrimp, cleaner shrimp, pistol shrimp, peppermint shrimp, fire shrimp, and coral banded shrimp. I agree with other people that some of the shrimp will sometimes steal food. Also, I rarely ever saw the coral banded shrimp in the daytime. I think I still have one in my 125 gallon, but unless I look in the middle of the night, I don't see it. The pistol shrimp will take/bury corals in the sand if they are near its burrow. My sexy shrimp never go further than a few inches from my tube anemone's, so I haven't had to worry about them. I found that the cleaner shrimp are out and about during the day the most of all the shrimp I have kept.
