I'm suprised the coral banded shrimp gets along with the peppermint shrimp. It must be a small one. Dan |

They will sometimes go afte clam mantles and anemone's that you want though. There is another possibility that is highly likely. My guess is that you didnt get peppermint shrimp, and got camel back shrimp instead. Camel back shrimp are not really reef safe because they will eat corals alot of the times. Another possibility is that the flowerpot is just receeding due to it slowly dying. Flowerpots do not do well in captivity, with the exception of certain color variants, which tend to do better than others. |
