Although most everything has been covered, and maybe Tony covered this too. (I just did not feel like reading the whole thing) :rolleyes: . I found size of the shrimp to be a factor in how far they come out. I recently got a really small one. It did not show for a week, whereas the big ones are real brazen about showing themselves. :cool:

Your loss, man ... I had put the next 6/49's jackpot winning numbers in there, but I've edited them out now, so now it's too late.

Even after I had moved my hand to get it off it would come right back. Was funny.. wish I had gotten a picture of it.

Mine also come to my arm\hand if it's ever in the aquarium. If I shake them off...they come right back. I don't mind...until they start to pinch really hard... OUCH !!
-Someone mentioned a size difference earlier...that probably applies to my 2 peppermint shrimp...the big one is out all the time , and the smaller one hides.

sometimes I bring in a fair number of cleaner shrimp at a time and some get put into the reef tanks to make room, such is the case right now. I have a calerpa growout tank that has 14 cleaners in it and its great fun to watch them.the act very brazen when in larger groups.
