does the coral banded shrimp eat it? i read somewhere that it did and wanted if anyone else knows. the arrow crab is to risky cause it gets bigg and might attack my small fish.

They are for the most part harmless scavengers that will help keep the tank clean. Put some fish food inside pantyhose when the lights go out and wait a bit for them to find it and get trapped on the pantyhose. Then carefully remove it/them. Note: I've never tried this method but have read about others doing it.

I've read that bristtleworms will eat corals and some anemone. I bought a small trap for them from my local store. It's a small tube with funnel ends going into itself. It comes with bait to place inside. By the way, if you catch one, don't handle it with your bare hands, they can hurt.
