What happened with the peppermint shrimp?

When I would feed the corals, it would run over to all of the corals one by one and pick food out of their mouths which made them shrivel and stressed. It was later eaten by a hungry brittle star.

Aquascape:

I really love the look of a cliff aquascape so I had to add that! But I also didn’t want it to be too tall. I was also afraid that I wouldn’t be able to fit many corals on my aquascape.

Made some changes once it was in.
