pepermint shrimp

[davidandliz]

are the peperment shrimps not able to be stung by anenomes...mine i have to fend off from the anenomes when i feed them or the shrimp snatch it from them

probably. they are actually armour plated since like most crustaceans they have an ecsokeleton , their shell. when i had a small anemone once, the shrimp always just reached in and pulled the food out. so i would first give the shrimp a little thin slice of frozen shrimp stuck on the end of a bamboo shish kabob, and while they were busy eating that, feed the anemone with a turkey baster. everybody was happy !!
