Harlequin shrimp

[sergifed91]

added Harlequin shrimp shrimp into my dt today. looked over and wow the little pests are either eaten or in hiding now. the whole back of my dt was filled with pests and now disappeared probably in hiding now or the Harlequin shrimp ate them.

I assume you are aware they only eat starfish?

What are the pests you’re referring to? Asterina stars?

Asterina stars

I’ve thought about getting a few to take Care of mine as well. Good to see it seems to work.

yeah for a while the Asterina stars seemed to have disapeared. but after a few hours most of them were back out and trying to breakout of my dt. the shrimp hasn't eaten any Asterina stars yet. but I did see it eat at the LFS. so it may eat tomorrow.

Seems like they know what’s coming to them when they get hungry

I have been trying to remove them one by one about 50 a day. Just to much time and gave up. So I boughtThe shrimp.
