Pi$$ me off

[masterswimmer]

I have a coral banded shrimp in my 16g. When I put my hand in the tank he'll jump on it like a skunk cleaner does.

Well he's not nearly as nice as he wants me to believe. That SOB tore the crown off one of my Hawaiian Feather Dusters. How do I know he did it? Well it is circumstanstial evidence, but he had the whole damn crown in his mouth, chomping away.

Ok, so I'm not really too P/O'd at this point. Why? Because I've seen feather dusters pop there own crowns and regenerate new ones. And, I couldn't prove that the CBS tore the crown off it. However, here's the coup de gace (sp?). The next damn day, I saw the CBS with his freakin pinchers elbow deep in the feather dusters' tube, trying to pull the worm out!!! NOW I'm pi$$ed off.

I come back in one hour, and there's the @#$%#@! CBS with the entire tube worm (feather duster) in his pinchers with one end of the worm in his mouth, completely out of his tube! :headache: :anger2: RIP feather duster.

Now another damn shrimp to be banned from the masters tanks. The first were the peppermint shrimp. Now the CBS.

Damn shrimp, the only freakin use for them is scampi. :fight2:

I was never a fan of CBS...they look too spider-y for my taste. Now I have more of a reason to dislike them.

Coincidentally, one of my feater duster swim out of it's tube by itself yesterday-I watched the whole process that took an hour.

I guess if you remove the worm from the shrimp fast enough, it may survive.

Oh, set up a small tank and I put my hermits with your shrimp and let nature take the pick afterwards.

I've seen that before too. The tube worm itself will regenerate a whole new tube in about 3 or 4 days. Providing there are no predators to snag them unprotected. Mine did it a few weeks ago. I would never have guessed. I saw it jump ship from the tube also. Cool thing, and the ugliest critters without their tubes. In about 3 days it had a whole new tube around it.

I use to have a CBS before I knew any better. Initially we nicknamed him "Bandit", however, quickly its true character came out and we had to re-name it to "Killer". You can figure out why I'm sure. The SOB would wait behind a rock and try and catch fish as they would swim by, it caught 3 gobies before I figured that enough was enough. But no matter how hard I tried I couldn't catch the SOB. I finally took apart the whole tank to catch the thing, and then went midevial on it, :sgrin: .

Anyway, CBS are not reef safe.
