Default Adviseable for Coral Fan ?

Is it ok to Decorate your shrimp tank with Coral Fan (dead coral).
Will they pose any threat to the communities ?

It will raise the pH level, same effect as coral chips. Not advisable if you are keeping CRS or BDS as they prefer acidic waters. Hardy species like cherry and its related varieties can tahan. As for sulawesi shrimps, it will be good for them.

Yes, those two are at the two ends of the spectrum, hard for them to thrive if kept together.
