Looking at getting a couple anemone shrimp for my rock flower garden and having a hard time nailing down info on some of the types, especially the spotted cleaner shrimp (Periclimenes yucatanicus) which is hard to search for.

I've seen multiple sources that sexy shrimp will turn on your nems/zoas if they aren't fed enough so I intend to avoid them.

But I'm interested in knowing if anyone's Pederson or Spotted has ever started munching on their nem/coral? Will they do well living on RFA?
 
I have had both and the spotted are much easier to find in the tank. Pederson are so tiny. They love almost any nem. My spotted liked my maximini carpets and my rock nems. Mine were always short lived though. I am not sure if it was a fish eating them issue or just my luck.
