I'm Bringin Sexy Back?

[Dj Orion]

Ok ok, I bought 2 sexy shrimp yesterday and was pleased at their additions to my nano reef. I put them in the tank last nite and watched them wiggle their sexyness into the comfort of their new home.
After a drudinging 10 hour stretch at skool today, I came home to find...

A sexy shrimp chomping thru a colony of zoo's that I had just put in the tank last week! I cought him in the act! He must of eaten 10 polyps thru the course of the day. Needless to say he made a fine snack for my tomato clown in my big tank. (he wasnt about to share his anemone with nobody!)

I still have one more sexy shrimp left in the tank. Is this normal for these shrimp to eat zoo's? Should I worry ahbout the other one? I just put in a few hundred dollars worth of sweet zoo frags over the last month in that tank. What should I do? :help:

I would worry.

BUT, innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I was under the knowledge that these shrimps are reef safe.

I mean, my cleaner shrimp earned that title and he could care less if there were corals in the tank or not.

I got a new Chinese/American saying

"U put sexy shrimp in fishbowl, U get shrimp fried rice!" :chefico:

Each situation and animal is uniques, I have 9 in my tank and 8 peps that have never touched anything healthy. I have seen them take out dead or dying things

You know what, that particular zoo looked like crap. It wasnt opening since I put it in the tank last week. Maybe it was just going after it because it was on its way out.

Well in any case, I am gonna keep an Eagle Eye on that other sexy bastad. But one false move and its in the puffer's belly we go!

 

[EmilyT]

How does it chew with the grillz on? :lol2:

I dont think a sexxy shrimp ate ur zoas...check for weird looking shells, snails, nudis....These shrimp are reef safe from my experience and haven't touched my zoas in any of my tanks.
