Evil Peppermint shrimp!!!

[wonderboy]

Bought A torch coral today, and my Evil peppermint shrimp started doin work on his polyps. Its not A camelback shrimp for the record, and he wasnt just cleaning it, he was tearing and eating the flesh of the coral.

what do I do? Take the shrimp out? Let the torch open up and then put the shrimp back?


Thanks for reading

Take the shrimp back mate.
As far as im aware the peppermints should certainly not be eating corals.

If you are so certain the shrimp is eating the coral. Then either one has to go. Either the shrimp or the torch.

You can try training the shrimp to eat prawn meat by isolating it for weeks. Release it and observe after that.
