Wow!!! Great looking tank Incysor. So just one harlequin shrimp in there along with the sexy? HOw often are you feeding the harlequin?
I'm feeding the harlequin about one starfish a month-3wks at this point. I started off with a pair of them, and was feeding them every couple weeks, but one disappeared, and I moved this one into the smaller work tank, so I cut back. So far so good.

That exotic thing I assume is the harlequin. How big is the one you got, and how big do they get? What do you feed it?
In the pico I'm getting I'm planning on getting a bunch a cool shrimps like the sexy, anenome, and the bumble bee shrimp.
On another note: sorry to hear of the cool mushroom eating a fish, a red headed goby...that's crazy! How did you know it ate it, did you see half of it's body sticking out of it or something? Or did you see it spit up the remains...
I don't really think of them as all that exotic. They're available here 2-3 times a year. I was very excited that I found a mated pair for $50. However one of them went missing about a week after I got them. I had them in the 25g tank with the dwarf lion. The lion is way to small to eat one of these guys and the only thing I could think of was that it stumbled into the tube anemone. I moved the remaining one into the work tank, and it's done fine for several months now. They don't really get too much bigger than it is now. The Hawaiian version tends to get a little bit bigger and the coloration tends to be more pink/white rather than blue/white.
I came back from lunch on Wednesday to find the mushroom all balled/ballooned up like it had caught something to eat. I feed the tank very sparingly, and hadn't fed it that day, so I was sort of surprised. I started looking around and couldn't find the goby. I watched the tank on and off for the next several hours, then the next day as well. Sure enough the goby was gone. Both the sexy shrimp are still there, so I'm making an educated guess that is what happened to the goby.
