Hi, i just got my first two corals for the tank this week and my pistol shrimp has went after both so far. The first was the hammer coral because it was in the sand bed so the shrimp didn’t like that I assume. Then today he attacked the zoas and knocked them over. I’m not sure what I should do with the corals. Should I just epoxy and glue them down and let them be and what happens, happens? Or do I glue them down a little higher up on the rock where the shrimp can’t get to them? For the latter, I’m afraid that it would be too much flow and light higher up for those corals. So I would like to keep them lower in the tank but it’s getting hard at this point to do so.
Below are the links to Twitch clips where I can watch my tank while away and is where I caught my pistol shrimp with the corals.

ANd why didn't you get it's permission before landscaping it's yard!? :D Some people can be pretty particular so probably best to move them somewhere the shrimp won't bother them.
He’s not being a very friendly neighbor so far lol
