Scarlet hermit

[dixiegirl21191]

Would it be safe to put my scarlet hermit in my 3 gallon with my cleaner shrimp? On live aquaria it used to say omnivorous but now it says herbivore. He is just so pretty but he hides a lot in my 10 gal. My only worry is that he might try to eat my cleaner during/after a fresh molt. What are your experiences with scarlet reef hermits and skunk cleaner shrimp? Thanks in advance!

I don't think the hermit would bother your shrimp at all. Go for it :)

I also think they would be fine together.

They will be fine together.
Scarlets are more or less omnivores. They'll feed on both plant and animal matter.Which is why they are great clean up criters.
