Cleaner Shrimp RIP

[DSR]

For anyone that doubted the condy's ability to off its tank mates ... I just witnessed my condy kill off my cleaner shrimp. Fast as lightening he had him. I was right there so I was able to remove him... but I guess the sting was too much... he just died..... behind all of my rock in a very small area... under a ton of stuff... Wish I had a cleaner shrimp to clean up after my cleaner... My condy is not very pleasant (but looks very nice).

I've wanted a condy but everything I read says there not good in reef tanks. They just seem very interesting.

I haven't heard that they are bad for reef tanks... but this one was much bigger than I had thought it was when I picked it up. It already eats and entire cube of mysis shrimp every couple of days. So it will go to a new home this week.
