That's gotta suck. LoL.

@RichtheReefer21 agree it had to suck but it made me laugh. The cleaner isn’t very coordinated

 

[Katrina71]

Lol! Thanks for not saying what I really called him.

Do you have the new Radions up and running?

I do but a basic light schedule for now. I didn’t have time to load your light schedule yet. Had to work.
They are so much better then the AI hydras so far.
Thank you for stoping by and for your help.

The blood shrimp hasn’t bothered my Nem yet but the cleaner shrimp will. The blood shrimp looks for scrapes but the cleaner is lazy and bad at picking scrapes.
If I stay by the tank until the clowns are done eating then the clowns will keep the shrimp away.

If I had the corals you have I’m not sure I would get any shrimp

Have you tried the aquarium cam app?

I do now. I will have to play with it more but this may be the secret. Look who got busted

He is just stealing food bits. He should not hurt the anemone. Some shrimp, like a Peppermint, I would be more concerned.

 

[Rakie]

Blood shrimp usually do that. THey're jerks, but usually not aggressive. Mine HATED my cleaner shrimp so much... lol. Everytime he chased the cleaner shrimp around I just imagined the blood screaming "I'M THE BABY"... The cleaner shrimp would in turn, chase my neon goby because he was a more gentle cleaner than the shrimp.

 

[Katrina71]

Please post more pics of your new goby friend.

 

[Crabby48]

@Katrina71 I will have to get more. I’ll try tomorrow. The tiger shrimp was only 1/2” long so I passed on him.

For others that may care here is a new addition. A pink spot gobby

That is my plan. I took that pic with out much time. It’s kind of a teaser lol

Crabby, been wondering, and assuming the Clownfish are feeding the BTA? He looks excellent.

 

[Crabby48]

The clowns seem to only steal food from the bta but they may feed it. I will give it a little mysis a couple times a week. It looks great but worried when I get home today I will have some loss. After I left for work we lost power do to high winds and a lot of trees took out power lines. I had to go in on my day off and today no one is home witch is rare. When bad strikes it’s always at the odd times. Fingers crossed everyone huddles and stays warm. Oxygen shouldn’t be a problem because I have battery back up on the MP40.

Oh man, how did it turn out? We had huge winds too and I was worried about power outages all day.
