Clams vs Shrimp

[nanoreefbro]

Hi everyone got a question to ask.. I have a couple of Croceas and 2 Red Fire Shrimps that climb over the clams all day.. They seem try and clean them but it seems that the clams get irritated by them.. Should I move the shrimps out of the tank or what? I have a 110 gal that I have been running now for about 10 months now.. Thanks

if the shrimp are keeping the clam from opening and not getting the light it needs then they could kill the clam.

You are so lucky your fire shrimp come out

I know I have three total right now and I've had a few when I first started my tank and these two really have personality.. When I put my hand in the tank they will jump right on it to start cleaning.. They seem to have no fear at all.. The third one hardly comes out except at night and at feeding time..

I don't trust shrimps, usually hit or miss with corals, clams, etc. When it's hit, it's usually an expensive hit.
