anemone eats cleaner shrimp

[vanillagorila]

I looked at my tank this morning and noticed that my RBTA had had what looked like a molt from my cleaner shrimp inside its mouth. I didn't think much of it. A couple of hours later I tried to find the real cleaner shrimp and I can't find him anywhere. I know that they hid for a couple of days after a molt but I have always been able to find him.

I had a carpet anemone that ate my CS in a matter of minutes of putting him in my tank. I was so PO'ed

I've had this shrimp for over a year with a LTA and now the BTA eats him. its kinda funny. I guess he took a walk where he shouldn't of have.

In the wild, shrimp are the primary staple for Entacmaea quadricolor (Bubble Anemones)

You may get by with keeping a shrimp in the tank with a well fed anemone, but the second it gets hungry, those nematocysts are going to ready to zap anything that brushes a tentacle.
