Sexy Shrimp and Hermit Crabs

Can sexy shrimp be kept in the same tank with small hermit crabs? Would hermit crabs enjoy the same shrimp pellets? ( It's so weird how shrimp love eating pellets made of shrimp =P)

I think it should be fine. Sexy shrimp is quite fast actually. I used to have them with 6 line wrasse, big hermit crabs and they are fine.

Did they hide most of the time or were they out in the open?

they hided among frogspawn during day and then out at night.

haha cute alright well I've got a torch coral that only my clowns like so far. Would that be a good home for a sexy?

well i am sure the shrimp will stay away from clowns so they may find different hiding place in your tank

will sexies be hosted by flower pot anemones?

It's just a normal anemone in a flower pot so I dont see why not, espcially if its in the tank before the sexy shrimp so it looks more natural with algae growth on the pot
