Hi, 4 days ago one of my cleaner shrimp suddenly died. I noticed that he lost appetite but didn’t think much of it. 1 day later I found him death between two rocks. Didn’t really see a cause of death on the little corpse. Then 2 days ago the other shrimp started to act the same. He seems really...

I have a super active cleaner shrimp that basically runs between my corals and anemone. He’s obviously irritating them constantly. Is there anything I can do short of removal?

I have two clownfish ans various hermits and snails in a 32 gallon biocube. I have soft, LPS, and zoa corals. Would a cleaner shrimp be ok in here or will they turn on corals sometimes? I’m specifically looking at skunk shrimp.

Testing with Salifert and API respectively, my magnesium is 1530 and calcium is 360. Is this normal? Should I dose calcium? If so, how much? My tank is 20 gallons. Also got a male and female cleaner shrimp recently. The female died this morning, wondering if the clowns pestered her too much or...

I noticed some white hair like things coming off of my cleaner shrimp today (see photos & video). You can really see it protruding from his legs and tail. Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm afraid it might be a parasite or some sort of sickness but I cant seem to find much information on it.

We also bought a cleaner shrimp all from PetCo (there are no marine stores near us), and the tank was running perfect. All levels were good, our male Svedka was doing the submissive...
