Bumble Bee Shrimp

I've been reading that they're good in pairs for nanos.

Has anyone had Bumble Bee shrimp before? Are they a nuisance in any way?

They're quite attractive and I've been in the market for some fancy shrimp for my goby tank.

Dont know much about these shrimps but i beleive they are specialist feeders on the feet of urchins and sea stars.
If so then they are similar to the Harliquin shrimp as these too only feed on starfish feet.

Yeah thats what i thought, it says that they dont need the feet for survival like the harlequins do. I would ask to see any feeding before you purchase. Feeding live seaurchins and sstars to them could work out expensive.
