Shrimp recommendation for 12 gallon nano?

[mhender8]

I have a 12 gallon nano and 2 ocellaris clownfish are the only inhabitants besides coral. I do not plan to add any more fish to this tank (except maybe switching out for b/w clowns or onyx). I am also currently going barebottom. I was thinking about adding 3-4 peppermint shrimp or maybe 5-6 sexy shrimp. I've had 2 peppermints before and loved them but have no experience with sexy shrimp. Opinions?

Thanks,
Miles

sexys are SMALL... marine design has two right now.. (unless they sold yesterday)

I'd definitely recommend a skunk cleaner and possibly a Fire shrimp.. in a tank that small, you might actually see the fire shrimp..

I have one, and it will eat anything. I haven't had it very long, but he's coming out in the open more as time goes by.

That looks like a pistol shrimp; if so, you'll notice a decrease in your clean up crew population soon.

Fire Shrimp are awesome

I have two fire shrimps in a 14 gallon BioCube.
They hide until they see me, because food is coming. They will steal food from corals, so now I feed them small shrimp by hand while I feed corals.
Both will crawl all over my hand, when I am doing maintenance. Scared me the first time when one jumped on my hand.
My clowns also eat out of my hand, because of my shrimps.

Thanks for the responses. Still trying to figure out which way I am going to go but will hopefully pick up some shrimp this weekend

I like my fire shrimp. He's definitely out during the day way more than my peppermint.

I love my Sexy shrimp. I have only one now but I have plans to get about 7 or 8 more. Mine is out all the time.
