I've had it with crustaceans. Haha. I notice my banded shrimp carelessy walking over my frogspawn and didn't think anythng about it at first. Then I notice it starting not to extend its tentacles out so I picked up my handy dandy reef/coral book and read up on it a little bit more. Then I realized what and how my beautiful frog spawn had died. My damn crustaceans walking over it's delicate tissue. I'm thinking bout keeping my tangs snails and lobster and everything else has to go What do y'all think?

I have been having a watching coral banded shrimps walk over corals for years, clown fish basking in corals , wrasses picking bits of food from polyps and never really seen any damage ever caused by any of it and as a rule the corals do not seem to care either as they rarely retract. Anything is possible I guess but I would not be to worried about it. Now mister lobster will enjoy dining on your your snails

My banded shrimp walks all over my frogspawn and torch corals and picks out all the extra food that lands there. They act like its nothing. It might be something else going on for it to just die.

this may same weak but everyone gotta remember the one truth if most things,

sometimes s___ happens, it sucks it cost you money, but such is the way of things

so until you kill two of them don't beat yourself up to much
