Nope but my cb shrimp used to go in my condy and take food. Then when I got the clarki's they keep him out now.

highly unlikly once the BTA is fully healthy.

My cleaner once bumped my Sabae trying to get a piece of food. He shot STRAIGHT up in the tank so fast, I thought he was gonna come right out of the water.

One of the main criteria for anything to host an anemone is that slime coating that's resistant to the nematocyts. If the anemone hasn't zapped the blood shrimp yet....he WILL once he's in fully health!

some shrimp are commensal with anemones, but i do not think Fire shrimp are one of them. as Skeety has said, it matters if the shrimp can protect itself from the nematocysts.

Anemones will eat anything that gets near their mouths, in my opinion. If your shrimp is hosting in the BTA now, I bet it's just a matter of time before the BTA has a shrimp dinner......sorry to say.....

Well its not actually in the mouth region. It just sits on the stem and the 2 front legs are on the tenticals. But i will get a pic as soon as my camera gets back.
