I have an odd situation that's arisen and need some help.
Ever since re-homing a juvenile Imperator Angel, my skunk cleaner shrimp has been being attacked by someone. I first noticed it when his antennas were only half as long as normal, but now they're down to only about an inch from at least four inches, and even his feet and little claws are missing.
My bet is that it's my Melanarus wrasse, but I won't rule out another culprit. But what's odd is that this all started in the week since the Imperator is gone. I've placed the shrimp in an acclimation box to keep him safe, but need some advice on what to do next.
Any advice or explanations are welcome.
