Hello!

I am still somewhat new at this. :fish1:I have a Banded Coral Shrimp. I was wondering if they ever attack fish? I recently lost a black clown and I never even found it. Will this shrimp attack and eat fish??

Thanks!
 
I have had them, and never had the problem. But I have read several individuals report having aggression / predation issues with them.
 
I have one and he trys to pinch them but he never is fast enough.mine is aggresive
 
I had one as well and replaced it with Skunk Cleaners as he was way too agressive. I did lose a couple of small fish, but couldn't prove he was the reason.
 
I have 2 never seen them kill any fish but do love watching them setting up shop and cleaning fish like a car wash
