Living in "Corkscrew anemone"

Bit of cut and paste from info found:

Periclimenes pedersoni Chace 1958, the Caribbean Anemone Shrimp, Pederson's Shrimp. Should always be kept with Anemone hosts. A great cleaner of fishes, but ships poorly.

Very very nice. Would definitely be interested in a couple of those.

How big are they, out of interest?

Indeed, very pretty shrimp

Never seen one 'in the flesh' but a couple of sites have said they are 2-2.5cm

very nice, have seen these once in a local shop, they seem to host in various corals. I'd be interested to know of their care requirements.

Fantastic Looking Shrimps, if the would do well with the skunk cleaner shrimp, would get a few as well.

These ones are around the £9 mark but If I can get enough people to buy in bulk then I am sure I can get them down to £7.50. The more I can bring in the cheaper I pay. The cheaper I pay then the cheaper you pay. :D

I have had a few beers:)
