cleaner shrimp

Just for fun

Hi I'm looking for your precious experiences with the resistance of Cleaner Shrimp to the amount of Cu2+ At what dosage do you guys find Lysmata amboinensis to stay alive for a long time and shed with no problem? I'm considering a quarantine tank with cleaner shrimps and cleaner wrasse (hosts)...

Did my Nassarius snails kill my cleaner shrimp??? I just noticed them all on the shrimp today. He was fine earlier. I couldn’t get them off him. What should I do? Did I do something wrong with him? I thought they only eat dead things so maybe he died and they got to him right away?

I have an 80 gallon, 3-4 months old now and been in an algae stage for a while; dinos, cyano and a lot of bryopsis over the rocks. I currently have a pair of snowflake clowns that have been in from the start, 2 scarlet hermits and 2 trochus snails and i had a royal gramma for 2 weeks that didn’t...

It is 3am here. My skunk cleaner shrimp, which has full of eggs since its last molt, just released a bunch of larvae into the tank. They're so tiny and there are so many of them! The fish are all sleeping and nobody has started having a feeding frenzy, but my LPS and softies are enjoying the...

So while I was cleaning the tank about half an hour ago, I decided to glue a couple of rocks down, and as I did so my cleaner shrimp got a little curious and, thinking the glue was food, decided to grab some of the stuff and see if he could eat it, only to get it all over his front limbs. He...

I have a 20 gallon high tank with 2 clown fish and and 1 cleaner shrimp. Can i get 2 more fish for it?

Re-entering reefing after being gone for 8 years, the price of Cleaner Shrimp has surprised me most. Before I throw 2.5 hours of work (of my wage) on a prawn, how long do you all have your shrimps for? Back in the day I recall them being a bit more sensitive? But I was newer to the hobby and...

so I’m writing this after another 30 minutes of struggle to feed my corals. For whatever reason my cleaner shrimp won’t stop trying to steal food from corals mouth. I’ve tried everything, flooding the tank with food , spot feeding him LPS pallets, trowing pallets next to coral just for him...

Hello there! My cleaner shrimp molted last night and today he looks like a truck ran him over... he is missing his hind legs, his antennae are wrinkled and thin and he can barely move... I have been keeping am eye on him waiting to see if he will harden throughout the day but nothing... In my...

I have a small 17gallon aquarium and yesterday I went out and bought a coral banded shrimp not realizing how agressive they are and that it would eat my sexy shrimp, my question is which other cleaner shrimp should I buy? A pacific (skunk) cleaner shrimp or a peppermint shrimp? Fish plans: 2x...

Hi all, The subject says it all. :) I have a Scarlet Cleaner Shrimp - about 3". It has a little cave on one side of my 150g staked out. I was considering getting a Coral Banded Shrimp both to add some fun biodiversity and hopefully to pick at a few of the bristleworms poking around in the...

Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

Hey all, so for over the past year or so I’ve tried to keep cleaner and fire shrimp in my reef tank, but for some reason I can’t keep them alive for any longer than a few months. It always comes to me checking out the tank one morning, and seeing what looks like a molted exoskeleton and the...

Cleaner shrimp climbing live rock

I made a post about a hour ago, saying my shrimp was acting weird and it may be stuck molt. Well I can now confirm its stuck molt. I know this is fatal for most inverts. And I have no clue what to do. Any suggestions, I dont want to lose this shrimp. And its turned into a emergency situation...

Hello everyone, My cleaner shrimp who I got maybe about 2 months ago is starting to bother my fish and some coral. He's only about an inch long but likes to mess with everything in my tank, especially my hector's goby. He's in a 20 gal lagoon style tank with the only other inhabitant is the...

I have a super active cleaner shrimp that basically runs between my corals and anemone. He’s obviously irritating them constantly. Is there anything I can do short of removal?

I have two clownfish ans various hermits and snails in a 32 gallon biocube. I have soft, LPS, and zoa corals. Would a cleaner shrimp be ok in here or will they turn on corals sometimes? I’m specifically looking at skunk shrimp.
