The suspects:
1 Coral Beauty 1 Yellow Tang 2 Clarkii Clowns 2 Yellow Tail Blue Damsels 4 Green Chromis 6 Red Leg Hermit Crabs The pair of Cleaner Shrimp were magnificent, proud members of the tank, claiming a prominent outcropping and hanging there for all to see and for everyone to visit for cleaning; especially active at feeding time, swimming and jumping about to catch another morsel... Then they disappeared. Took to hiding and wouldn't come out. It seemed very sudden to me - one day they were out and about, and the next they would barely show themselves even at feeding time. After a few days of puzzling over this and only catching fleeting glimpses of a leg or two way back in the rock, I finally saw one emerge to eat - and his antennae were drastically shorter and uneven! Who's been munching on the Shrimp's antennae? The other shrimp?? He doesn't look damaged at all, but he almost *never* comes out anymore, either... Is he just better at evading the marauder, or is *he* the culprit? --Charlie Henderson |
