update on the coral banded shrimp...

well i got home from work today, and found my little maroon clown dead!!!! the poor little thing had his fins and tail all tattered. and i decided to take the CB shrimp back to my LFS and get a little green emerald crab instead..i miss the shrimp.. but i miss my little clown even more..and my other clown keeps swimming around the tank looking for the other one....

The emeralds can be nasty too. I had a giant one I dubbed mongo that I am pretty sure killed one of my gobies. He was also chomping away on my ball coral, trashed it.

Never getting another one of those. I've got a Sally Lightfoot, and at this point I'm even giving him dirty looks.

i'm really sure it was the shrimp though. i cought her several time chasing the clown around the tank..so i chased the shrimp back to her hole.and a few minutes later she was out and about looking for the clown fish again...i think the shrimp was very territoral and she thought the clown was in her space..??
