Hi guys, I may have a problem. I have a cleaner shrimp who lost 3 legs and all of his antennas have been cut short. I am not sure if my fish is nipping at it or if it’s being caused by my circulation pump...or something else? I have a fluval 13.5 evo and my circulation pump is somewhat close to one of my rocks. I am thinking the shrimp is getting too close or jumping on it and possibly getting some limbs & antennas caught. Any ideas???

2 ocellaris clownfish
1 diadem dottyback (this guy isn’t very nice)
Some turbo and nassarius snails.

I have had the dottyback for a few months and he’s nipped but never took limbs. Antennas have been cut short, maybe one at a time but not all at the same time like currently.

1 clownfish has gotten really aggressive towards the other one lately.

It’s not the clown... very well could be the dotty. He will grow everything back after his next moly. They’re super vulnerable after a moly though so hopefully whatever is attacking it doesn’t get him while he’s waiting on his new exo to harden.
