See the video, the shrimp has algae looking stuff growing on it .. what cud that be?
At end of video you will see my Gem tang take swipe at it and almost plucked the whisker from root.
Can tank be shrimp-killer? Or he was eating algae on its whisker or he plucked at sick shrimp?
The shrimps and fishes been together for over 1 year. Most corals and rocks not moved in last 1 year either. Tank been up for 5 years and water very stable .. no meds no disease.
I dod loose 3 cleaner shrimps and all (4) pepermint shrimps n last 3 weeks ... others just vanished completely (no shell remaining either) i never saw anyone swipe at shrimps before. I had 1 melnerous and 1 hawk fish but I moved them out of tank 1 week back. This cleaner shrimp is last shrimp in tank.
Should I move the shrimp in an isolation box (in main tank) or don't stress it ... or will it not make it (with whisker root pulled)
I have a 9 inch by 5 inch by 4 inch isolation box ... catching the shrimp in rock/ fosh/ coral crowded tank can be hard and may hurt the shrimp .. but wanted to check ..
