FT: Coral Banded Schwarzenegger

[Domboski]

Looking to trade one of my tank fixtures. Mr. Coral Banded Schwarzenegger. I'm looking for some snails, hermits or cleaner shrimp. This guy is diesel!

 

[jrobbins]

i have a huge mex turbo and a few electric blue hermits if you want to trade...

 

[Domboski]

Sounds good to me. Do you have other shrimp in your system? If you do he might "terminate" them. If not, let me know when you would like to trade.

 

[BrooklynsReefMan1]

Jrobbins ill trade you some liverock for the hermits if you already have shrimp

 

[jrobbins]

Hey all,

Dom - i have a cleaner shrimp in the tank. you think they would co-exist?

Brooklyn - thanks for the offer, but i dont think i could fit anymore rock in the tank. if you just want one or two hermits you can have them for free. lmk

 

[Domboski]

I had two monster cleaners and they disappeared. It is hard to say whether it was the CBS or the Octo but not worth taking the chance unless you want all CBS in your tank.

FWIW, I have a big Coral Banded and a little cleaner. Sometime the CBS tries to 'terminate' the cleaner, but the little cleaner is always on top of the situation and scoots away with plenty of time.

they will exist only if there's enough live rock for each to claim i have a cleaner and a banded coral and the most action i ever see between them is when i feed them, the banded coral shrimp almost always runs off the cleaner shrimp but they do co exist

 

[jrobbins]

hmm, i think i'll chance it. i have a 40 long with about 60lbs of rock. hopefully that will be enough, as i really want a CBS...

Dom, i live/work in the city, where do you want to meet up?

 

[newly salted]

I have 2 cleaners and 1 coral banded in a 75 with about 100lbs live rock,for about a year now they seem to be ok with each other.

 

[Domboski]

Shrimp is gone! I don't have a lot of live rock in my tank and I have an Octopus so it is more than likely going to be fine. I didn't want to trade him without being up front about the risk.

Good luck jrobbins!

i have a CBS too and getting harlys soon, will they fight? my cbs is still kinda small, i just had to pick him up, 5 bucks at petco heh :chefico:

 

[Domboski]

I actually had the arnold of CBS in a tank with a harlequin shrimp with no problem. Harlequins are pretty tough. even the Octo doesn't mess with them.
