I just my first Pipefish, a mated pair to be exact and it seems that they are getting harrassed by my Skunk cleaner shrimp, is this normal and am I going to have compatibility issues. Or is it just a case of 'hey whats this snake looking thing in the tank'?
 
well the cleaner may have been just cleaning them off when they were introduced... but i have a seahorse tank with orange and black pipe fish a jansis pipe and a bunch of other seahorses... my cleaners never bother them, unless they chose to clean them off! :)
 
Yeah its all cool, I just freaked out as they have never done it before, the pipefish might have appreciated it more if it werent for them just having arrived in the tank after a long journey. Everyone is great though.
