Yeah, they were removed. Now living at the LFS with a large eel, a coral catshark and some maxi mini nems. Seem to get along well in there. No smaller fish to eat them and the 2 big guys don't even notice.Awesome thank you for sharing that. I’m excited to try sps. I bought a 10$ Acro frag for the lfs that looked like it was gonna die anyhow. Needless to say I was unable to help it out. I know they are super hard so I been looking for easier more beginner friendly ones. I can’t believe you were able to save it. I’m assuming you had to remove the shrimp. I currently have a peppermint shrimp. Hopefully it won’t give me to much of an issue. It does like to go after my Duncan during feeding if I don’t feed it first.
As long as your conditions are stable and you have bright lighting, most of the acros aren't that hard. Only acro we had issues with was an ice fire Echinata, which unfortunately RTNd one week after being added and even with dipping and fragging it, we couldn't save it. All the other stuff has thrived. We even had a couple acro frags completely encrust their plugs in less than 5 weeks.
