Well, tonight I actually witnessed one of my peps eating on one of my green rics. :eek2:

I'm very upset, I love the shrimp (there are 6 peps and 1 cleaner)and got them to clear up an aptasia problem, but love my precious rics more.

How would I get them to leave the rics alone??
I fed some pellets and they all seemed happy, I'm just so woried now about my ricordea.:confused:

If I need to get rid of the shrimp, how do I catch em' in a loaded tank without doing a tear down????
 
Buy a shrimp eating fish:D or maybe a shrimp eating shrimp that will leave the rics alone...

Are you actually seeing damage to the rics?
 
peps are evil little buggers. my brother had 2 in his 29g and they picked at all his mushies, now they've been removed and are being interrogated, 1 by my mantis shrimp and the other by his octopus
 
Well, I caught 4 of the 6.:)
My groupers had scampi or dinner tonight! LOL!!!!
The last 2 should be in the trap I made when I wake up. Fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!
