Any missing corals?I noticed I had about three when I came back from out of town over the summer. I grabbed a peppermint shrimp and they were gone in about an hour and I haven’t had a problem since.
None. He just hangs out under a ledge and comes out at night to scavenge around the substrate. I think I got lucky. I’ve read some horror stories on here of shrimps murdering softies for their gut contents after feeding reef roids.Any missing corals?
I’ve seen them more active at night. Trying to eat closed up zoas. Devouring acans. Picking off dendro tentacles. But eh. Whatever. Better than aiptaisa everywhere. And I feed them daily. It’s not like they’re hungry.None. He just hangs out under a ledge and comes out at night to scavenge around the substrate. I think I got lucky.

I usually feed roids during the day, so maybe that helps. I have seen him absolutely destroy half cubes of frozen food if it sinks around him though. It’s like watching the Tasmanian devil. He get ahold of it, spins it around, and stuff just flies everywhere.I’ve seen them more active at night. Trying to eat closed up zoas. Devouring acans. Picking off dendro tentacles. But eh.

They’re too big for reef roids. It’ll just send them into feeding mode. I find even mysis is hard for them. I feed LRS frenzy and they will grab large chunks of the fish pieces. I have a few other types of shrimps. I find they also have trouble grabbing smaller food.I usually feed roids during the day, so maybe that helps.

Yeah, that feed mode seems to be the problem. They smell it and know it’s in the coral so they go after it. Heck, when that stuff hits the water all my fish go insane too. It’s like reef crack.They’re too big for reef roids. It’ll just send them into feeding mode. I find even mysis is hard for them. I feed LRS frenzy and they will grab large chunks of the fish pieces.

I rarely do the roids these days. Lazy and I’m pretty sure my frozen food feedings are difficult.Yeah, that feed mode seems to be the problem. They smell it and know it’s in the coral so they go after it. Heck, when that stuff hits the water all my fish go insane too. It’s like reef crack.
Definitely aiptaisa. But amazing that they stay confined to that area.I'm not sure if these are aiptasia or not, but I don't care because I've had them for years & they only populate in this rock weird.
Haven’t heard from Frank in awhile. Where did he go!?!? I was supposed to meet him in Hong Kong last year. But got delayed. I have yet to try or even see his product.No, but I keep a thing of F-Aiptasia in the cabinet in the event that one decides to show up.
