Flame Shrimp floating in one spot!

Hi Reefers,

I'm not sure if something happen to my shrimps ability to swim around or see. But he usually is perched underneath a rock or just actively moving around the tank.

I think it had a run in with my RBTA. Is it possible that it got like stung into paralysis or something? The shrimp has literally not moved for 3 days. It's not dead though.

Are you sure that what your seeing is not a molt? Three days is a long time to just stand still. You might want to try and grab it with your hands and check it out. (smell it)
