Damsel hurt shrimps?

[dc4]

Yellow tails are pure evil...

It was one of the very first fish I bought and it killed 3 of my clowns and was insanely territorial.

I finally took all my live rock out of the tank and caught him, he was then donated to the lfs to terrorize someone elses tank...

I am aware of how evil damsels are in general But my understanding is that they usually take it out on other fish.

Has anybody seen damsels attack and/or kill shrimps?

My Blue Sapphire Damsel and my Skunk Cleaner shrimip get in some "arguments". He does a similar thing that your damsel does. Pokes at the shrimp. Not sure if it would kill it. Seems like anything is possible in this hobby though!

Considering a damsel can leave visible bite marks on my arm I'd say it's not impossible. They aren't the type to eat the shrimp but damsels are territorial so that could be the issue.

I really hope nothing serious happens; they both are my most favorite creatures in my nano.

So far nothing too big other thank a couple of short antennas on the shrimp, but I really hope it does not get worst.

As a matter of fact, I noticed that the yellow CBS also has a couple of short antennas on him, and I did see the damsel ticked off at him last night, so my bet is that the shrimps are hanging out where the damsel does not want them and to teach them a lesson, he bites off their antennas!

Keeping my fingers crossed.
