Hey R2R,

I just purchased a new Fire shrimp and Kole tang a few days back and everything was looking great. Shrimp moved in underneath a rock and the tang found a cave to call home.. Fastforward to this morning while I was drinking my coffee I found that my shrimp was missing.. Turns out that the shrimp had moved into the cave with my tang. The tang seems like she's a little upset as her dorsal fin has been sticking up all day and the shrimp loves it as now he has a roommate to clean constantly. I've seen the tang nip at the shrimp a few of the times that the shrimp has gone to clean the tang. I'm wondering if I need to somehow try and evict the shrimp or will nature play it's course. I don't want anything bad to happen to the shrimp and I'm wondering if I should worry about this nipping getting any worse.

Thanks,
PC
 
I'd leave them be, it's almost always best to let the fish figure it out themselves
