fire shrimp losing his legs...

[bilge rat]

I have;
1 chromis
1 royal gramma
1 bi-color blenny
1 fire shrimp
2 true percs

The fire shrimp is having his legs ripped off
1 by 1
it never happens when im looking and im not sure whos doing it
my guess is the chromis, but i dont know.

anyone have any ideers/experience?

thanx

that's interesting does sound like something is picking at it. which is unusual since they are considered cleaners. I'd also keep an eye on the bi-color blenny and royal gramma.
might want to feed a bit moree and that may give him a break from being picked on.

no, it wouldnt be the chromis. And i seriously doubt its the blenny... I've had one of those and had 3 shrimp at the time and he never touched them. I'd say its more than likely the gramma...i've read more than once that they arent always great w/inverts.

My royal gramma... has shown some aggression to my other life in my tank. So I keep him good and well fed. I don't see him with an attitude anymore towards other life in the tank .

did he molt recently? im guessing its the royal gramma picking on him and he molted so hes softer and easier to pull legs off
