So more isolation needed! Pocillopora now. Peppermint Shrimp!
So I went to Whatcaneyedo's and got some more awesome coral from his stunning display. Not 5 mins after the pocillopora was in the tank I saw a peppermint shrimp cruising on top of it, doing his arm thing. Was concerned a bit but figured he was cleaning everything up. Woke up this morning. Ya.... not impressed. I figure there at fault for the acan and now hes almost stripped an entire piece of polyps! I did some search's and most people say they might if hungry but I only have one fish and overfeed quite a bit as my cardinal is a very picky slow eater. I cant see them being hungry. They eat aiptasia (well they did before i got my fish now they dont touch the stuff) so its not a stretch to see them eat coral polyps. Gotta build a new basket to rescue them now. Going to see about some shrimp traps or something. Id rather not go the hawkfish route but I also dont want to be having a bunch of baskets in my tank to keep corals.
