Ok so i purchased a camel (candy) shrimp and a sea anemone at the same time at a place called Jacks pets. They said they would be compatable... not likely. My sea anemone is starving and shrinking due to the fact that the shrimp keeps stealing all his food. Ive tried feeding the anemone more often and keeping the shrimp away but when im not looking the shrimp is picking at the anenome and i think hes eating it. I cant catch the shrimp to remove it and im very frustrated because now my anemone is dying. ANY suggestions? I dont know if i'll be buying any more from Jacks pets ive been given bad fish compatibaility advice more than once now. I'm a beginner so this is frustrating when you're not given the right information from people who are supposed to know these things.
 
i have since moved on from anemone's, but what i would do is give each shrimp in the tank a whole freeze dryed krill them feed the nemmies, i still have all my shrimp which included a camel, cleaner, fire, an a peppermint shrimp. I lost my fave nemmy an clowns i got rid of them but try feeding shrimp first see if that helps

Thanks i have tried feeding brine shrimp to my camel first but he wont hardly eat any. Just goes picking away at the anemone. I hate watching it die. I didnt know this shrimp could be territorial...i know now.
