It is very common for peps and cleaners, and most ornamental marine shrimp, to egg up very frequently...They begin with the large green bundle of eggs under their abdomen...these eggs take around 2 weeks or so to be ready to drop, depending on temperature...once they turn brown and fuzzy, they usually drop at night and within 24 -48 hours ...

Hey all, I've got a pair of cleaner shrimp that are thriving in my 75g (48x24x15) tank. I have two very small tangs in there, so I don't want to add a copperband or filefish to help with my aiptasia problem, they'll get beat up at this point. This has me thinking of picking up a peppermint shrimp.
So a few months ago got a skunk cleaner shrimp. I love watching it clean the fish however recently it’s grown huge and seemed to have developed a taste for corals. It’s been picking ferociously on my frozen apple zoas, corky finger gorgonian and my neon green sinularia. I’m pretty torn because I feed the shrimp every day but it still does ...
I love cleaner shrimp my biggest problem is that I can’t have nice LPS and feed it with that guy around or else I’m having to play watch dog for an hour afterwards. I had a nice Scoly and a pretty orange plate fungia get tormented to death I believe from the shrimp ripping food out of its mouth.
Our cleaner shrimp probably did this 6-8 times but has not within the last few months. From what I have read, white eggs are non fertilized. Yellow eggs have been fertilized and will be held on to by the parent until their birth at which point they will need special considerations to be raised to adulthood.
What are your thoughts on wrasses and cleaner shrimp. Can they they be housed together or will the wrasse take out the shrimp. Running Reefer 250. which is around 60 gal. Is there a wrasse that easy going and will let the shrimp alone.
I wouldn't say 99%. It's more of flipping the coin.... twice. There aquariums with triggers / puffers coexisting with cleaner shrimp. You can even YouTube it. You will see them happily being cleaned by them. However, you really dont know until you try it. Unfortunately, it's a very expensive single meal ($25-35ish) for one of them if things go bad.
Most people agree that cleaner shrimp are useless against ich and the common fish diseases in this hobby. If you still want a cleaner shrimp, then get fire shrimp because you like it the best. Shrimp are a lot of fun and one of my favorite inhabitants -- even if they are useless.
I introduced a cleaner shrimp to my newly setup tank, and it died within 48 hours. I currently only have a pair of clowns in there and they weren’t even paying attention to the shrimp at all. I noticed that he got “sluggish” within the first 12 hours and did not move much at all (he would pick a spot and stay there without much movement ...
