| Re: Cleaner Shrimp Queations i only have 1 cleaner shrimp. thing kicks butt. my maroon clown, hawkfish, hippo tang, or any of the other fish do not bother it at all. it comes out from behind the rocks, climbs all over the place looking for someone to clean. good investment. cant help you with telling the sex. i have a 29gallong bio-cube with stock lighting, havent had a problem yet with any of my fish or corals. steve |

| Re: Cleaner Shrimp Queations 1. Skunk Cleaner Shrimp do not need any lighting what so ever. They simply need food to graze on, much of which they can scavenge on their own in the tank. 2. Males are typically smaller than the females and have smaller claws. (I think, it could be the opposite.) 3. Yes. Clownfish are opportunistic omnivores.
