Poor peppermint shrimp...

[Calappidae]

My yellow tang nipped off every single antenna on my peppermint shrimp :headwalls: so much for being a benifical cleaner... he hides from the fish and is almost as lifeless as a molt.. jumps around and hides behind the fliter.. infact, in the middle of writing this my tang is chasing it around the tank nipping his tail.. and he is missing a leg.. I got him in a small glass cup right now to get him away from it but what is going on? Tang acks fine around my scarlet cleaner but is trying to kill my peppermint.. and the peppermint up at the library cleans their yellow tang regularly..

and yes there is an algae clip...

I posted this in both, other inverts for what to do for the pep, and reef fishes for whatever is wrong with my tang..

 

[Calappidae]

Damage..

Ripped tail, crouched down like he is out of water or something.. missing antennas, and missing a leg.

Even though moray eels and cleaner shrimp are supposed to have to a symbiotic relationship, my eels ate both my peppermint and skunk cleaner. The key word is *supposed* here. Each individual organism doesn't always follow the rules, unfortunately

Now the scarlet cleaner is being attacked, I have it seperated in a container.. and the pep is in another tank.
