Cleaner shrimp needs a new home!

[John Paul Rai]

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 hector's goby. Not sure why but he likes to chase the goby around the tank at least 3 times a day. While doing this obviously disturbing coral. So I'm just looking to get him to a new home and maybe trade for like a small frag of zoas. The trade isn't as big of a concern to me as getting him to a new home is, but I am trying to build out my zoa garden a little bit more. I'm located in south jersey (08080). If anyone is interested please let me know!

Thanks for your time,
John

you could try using something like sinking pellets or hikari sinking wafer, usually once well fed they retreat back under a rock. Mine is annoying too but i got used to it and the wafers definitely help if you are spot feeding corals

it is used to cleaning fish daily, clownfish usually tolerate it fine but blennies and gobies not so much
