Sexy shrimo and clownfish?

[LukeSivyer45]

I have 2 sexy shrimp and was wondering if my pair of clowns, i dont have alot of rock and the clowns are 2ish inches and used to live with a cleaner shrimp just fine. What are your opinions??

I've never read anything negative about having the two together in the same tank.

I have clowns and Lots of Sexies. You should be fine. Just release away from clowns or maybe at night so they don’t think you’re feeding them. (Depending on how small the Sexy Shrimp are) But not sure that is even necessary. I’ve never had a problem

I have 2 clowns, introduced 3 sexy shrimp, clowns almost immediately killed the smallest one. The other 2 then escaped to my filter sock and stayed there for 3 weeks or so, no matter how many times I removed them and put them back in the tank. if the clowns saw them they would go after them.
the 2 surviving sexysare now settled in the tank, but they rarely move from the gorgonians at the top of the tank.
If you get some try and get the biggest ones you can find would be my advice.

It might have something to do with the type of clowns you have. Some are more aggressive. subject has my interest though, have 2 porcelain crabs coming and am going to get a cpl anemone shrimp as well.

Captive bred Frostbites here, not known for their aggression.

seems odd. I had asked around a bit as well and others also say that they normally would be fine sharing an anemone.

I was very surprised myself as all the research I did before getting the sexys suggested there would be no problem at all...but there ya have it

Sorry, I should keep reading before I ask you to repeat yourself....

 

[TnFishwater98]

My clowns have never charged or acting like they were going to pick on or eat. Maybe I overfeed... lol

It should be more “safe” because im adding the clowns to the sexy shrimp tank. Ive heard that fish tend not to be as aggressive when to livestock if its already in there.
