Just picked one up off divers den but after reading more about them online I’m nervous and am strongly considering cancelling my order. I have a weakness for unique shrimp- I’d like to fill my tank up with all sorts of shrimp, not just the 2-3 mainstream species. Right now, I have my eyes on Urocaridella Antonbruuni at my LFS, as well as pedersons, the regular Scarlet skunk cleaners, Bongo Shrimp, zanzibar banded, and a whole host of other species. I just happen to find inverts very cool and when I can find shrimp slightly off the beaten path they tempt me.
But I don’t want to have issues in the long run. I would like to add a BTA and a RFA to my tank soon, not to mention corals with vulnerable polyps like zoas and torches. Will Lysmata Kuekenthali avoid the same pitfalls that many people see with rogue peppermint shrimp? I dont have aiptasia yet, but I do feed frequently and I have a crab I have to feed mollusks to who leaves plenty of leftovers in the shells for picking at.
