I have read alot about the cleaner shrimp and it seems to be good for my tank. But everything with a point like a feather duster the clowns will nip at the feathers. But when i put the cleaner shrimp in my tank i know the clowns will nip at his long wiskers but will they do it all the time?

I have mean clowns and they have never messed with my featherdusters or my shrimp. They have killed a few fish. I think if I saw them going for the shrimp or my worms I would be pushed just far enough over the edge to flush them.

I am not a humanitarian today.

Ok I want a cleaner shrimp now but i have some questions. (Please anser all of them)

1. Do the cleaner shrimp need bright lighting like anennemies?
2. How can i tell if one if male and female.
3. If i do get a mated pair and they hach will my clowns eat some of the baby cleaner shrimp?
