Woke up to a dead partially eaten cleaner shrimp this morning (one of
three). It looks like it had been in the process of shedding. All of the fish have an innocent "Who me?" look about them - i.e. none of them paying the "remains" any attention. So, was it murder or natural causes? ANALYSIS OF SUSPECTS: Percula clowns (x2) - Unlikely: No time for anything but the love affair each other and their anenome African pigmy angel - Unlikely: Can be a bit impatient with other fish but has been seen being cleaned by the shrimps (could be a clever cover I suppose!) 4 spot yellow wrasse - Unlikely: Like clockwork, he goes to bed under the sand at 6:45pm and wakes up again when the lights come on at 7am Little pink scooter blenny - Nothing this cute could be associated with such a crime Long nosed hawkfish - Prime suspect: Has been seen "observing", some might say even "stalking", the shrimps. Also, she is the latest addition to the tank and has been gaining a lot more confidence. Other than that, just a range of corels in the tank. Opinions? Can shedding sometimes go wrong leading to self destruction? Are shrimps more vulnerable during shedding? Could there be something lurking in the live rock that we don't know about? |
