just got a super nice leather coral today and put it in a few minutes ago. ever since i put it in i’ve seen my peppermint shrimp on it and it looks like they are hitting their heads on it over and over again. scared them off of the coral and saw they LITERALLY put a hole in it. and the inside the hole is black. will they stop or do i need to bring them back to the store.

Really sorry ;Sorry

Peppermint shrimp are notorious for taking down corals, feather dusters and so on.

I'd take them back and the leather should heal.
 
my peppermint and skunk cleaner took out my Acans and constantly messed with my anemone so now i no longer have any in my display tank.
