yes i have a cbs, blood shrimp, 3 peperment shrimp, pistol shrimp, and a cleaner in a 55 gal, acclimate all inverts over a period of hours these are more delicate than the fish!
funeral for a friend...
AAAAK! Just bought a brand new cleaner shrimp today for the new reef. 3 hours later - dead on the bottom!!! And guess who dragged him off for dinner....Mr. @*&#^@ Coral Banded! Well I guess that answers my question about adding any more shrimp. Funny - he left the cheapo peppermints alone.
Am I blaming the CBS unjustly for this crime - (do we think I just got a bad cleaner?) or is this typical "banded" behavior?
Sad!

Acclimation may have been the problem as MNreefman has stated! How long did you acclimate the shrimp before introducing it to your tank? I acclimate mine for at least an hour!
CBS can be very territorial and the most aggressive of all shrimps in my opinion. I think the larger the tank the better chance of having different species of shrimp living together in harmoney!
