if you get a harlequin shrimp just know that you have to feed them mini starfish if im not mistaken

Yep, harlequin shrimp need starfish to survive. If you don't have (or are unwilling to have) a constant supply of starfish for it to eat, it will starve.

Yeah I plan on buying Chocolate stars for the Harloquin shrimp. I really want to get a Fire shrimp but I really want Zooanthids...

They won't eat your zoos and they'll be fine with the other shrimp, too.

The only thing a fire shrimp will eat,is the waste and leftover fish food.And if the fish will let them,they'll clean the fish of parasites and dead scales and skin.

+1 yote, dcan.... I've got tons of zoas, and a fire shrimp. The shrimp will occasionally pick fish food off the zoa rocks, but doesn't want a thing to do with the zoas themselves. I love my fire shrimp... he cleans my hands, as well as my angelfish. They're cool. Also have a pistol shrimp, and the two shrimps never go anywhere close to each other. I highly recommend a fire shrimp in every tank. :)
