Sorry about that kjswift, I seem to be a magnet for flamewars

Shrimps are pigs, hardly scavegers. When I had cleaner shrimp in my nano, he would beat all the fish to the top and took almost all the food. And he would steal the anemone's food.

getting close was scary, but getting on top of and picking him was a big eye opener! i thought the tenticle ends had like hoos to grab things. i dont know how he did it.

Mine has been doing the same things for weeks, every sense I got the RBTA from Tim and still got them all.....and they do it every day!


Maybe they have like a clown relationship that we just dont' know about????

lmao, what can i say, ive got "supermoderator" written in my dna, now all we gotta be worried about is if i actually get the position :shock:

i wonder if the shrimp are immune to the nemocysts on the anemones or not? anyone know for sure, id imagine the exoskeleton protects them like the slime coat on a clown fish.

Nope, sooner or later theres gonna be a new thread titled "My cleaner shrimp disappeared!" They are not ammune and the anemone will eventually dine on said shrimp if it continues to jack with it. Will the anemone eat whole krill??? My Peppermint shrimp tested my LTA once, thats all it took, now he avoids it like the plague,,..

Well I baught a clown fish tonight for mine so hopefully it will keep the shrimp off of it.....hopefully!!
