Hello,
I have a a small carpet anemone that I have had for about a month. I also have three sexy shrimp that hang out around the anemone (I've had these about the same amount of time). It is losing its small tentacles from being eaten or it is bleaching I think. Can you tell me if you think the sexy shrimp are eating it (my suspicion) or it is bleaching. Here are early on and later pictures.
