I'd like to hear experiences if anyone has had any. I've got an itch to buy a few.

i do too, but they seem hard to come by local, used to live in S.A., have a bunch of sexys instead.

Chris - I have thought of setting up a small tank for maybe a condy or a flower anemone and a few Perclimenes. They are supposed to be pretty delicate and don't ship real well from what I'm told. You may want to look at sexy shrimp / Thor Ambionesis as an alternative as they are a tad hardier and easier to come by.

If you decide to go with the anemone shrimp I have seen them locally at Partners Pets in Round Rock and Reeftopia seems to stock them regularly.

I've seen them at AquaDome as well recently.

Ah I thought anenome shrimp & sexy shrimp were simply two common names referring to the same species (seen some mislabeled for sale online). Thor Ambionesis is the one I was actually referring to.

Lax, how'd you like them? Any problems with fish trying to make them into a meal?

Well, if fish you mean my one neon goby! The bigger threat that I have is the fire shrimp and green brittle star, which I'm tryin to sell. They are very hardy IMO, after survivng a horrible move, 4 out of 5 lived. corals and cleaner shrimp died and they didn't. They are pretty cool. They just chill up on my rock and walk, hop, skip and jump around the tank shakin that thang, they do a little dance as they move. its best to have then in groups of 3 or more. they hang out with each other. they like to hang out in toadstools and zoos. and being that my tank is a nano they're all over the place, so i can't say what they would do in a tank over 12 gallons.
