Moving my Harlequin Into a New Tank Today. How Can I Make Sure I Don’t Introduce Pests With Him?

SamKnaphus · Oct 4, 2024

Moving my harlequin shrimp, Leonard, into my frag tank today because I’m quite fond of him. He will be coming from a tank full of aptasia and other pests, and the tank I want to put him in currently has none of said pests. How can I make sure he is the only thing I introduce?

Not an easy answer.
I can't imagine any pests have attached to the shrimp. Minimize the amount of water you transfer to hopefully only the few drops on the harlequin's shell.

Sweet thanks. Never really moved any live stock like him so it’s much appreciated
