So I have a 93 cube anemone SPS tank. I started with 3 sexy shrimp and never observed any issues. My friend decided to get rid of his since the 2 he had were bothering his sunburst bta so I took them. I've had them 2 for about a month maybe more and have noticed polyps missing from my BOP first now my awesome green mille. At night I place a flashlight in there to see who is near the frag rack and the only thing on there is a sexy shrimp almost every night. I never knew these guys could do that and haven't ever had issue in the past but I am aware every animal has there own identity and appetite. I'm almost certain he is the culprit, not all of them, just one so far. I wanted to share my story of this polyp eating sexy shrimp. Also, does anyone know how long it takes for an SPS to recover it's polyps? I also noticed 1 polyp from my green toadstool missing. I feed heavy, at least one a day usually a cube.
