    Reef Safe - Camelback Shrimp?

    So I made a newbie mistake possibly. Had a 29 gal nano and bought a cleaner shrimp and a camelback from LFS. They knew I had a reef set-up and didn't say anything about camelback not being reef-safe. Had some soft corals - leather, mushrooms, and green star polyps - never noticed the camelback...
