The hunt is on!

My bumble bee shrimp loves to hunt this guy down. He will post up on the rock behind, drop off spiderman style and then go in for the kill. I think he only eats a few pieces and then books it. Yesterday he went in big and I was able to snap some pictures for once. By far some of my favorite photos

Awesome! Does the starfish have time to heal up before the next snack?

ohh I like that shrimp, can it eat regular food?

Weird little critters - almost looks like a rolly polly with zebra stripes and arms!

Yep he does heal. Its about twice a week. It also eats Mysis when I feed daily.

Sushi - Its funny, from time to time it will roll up!

What type of star is that? Sand sifting?

Yes a sand sifter.

Awesome pictures!

Definitely interesting little guys.

really cool shots. mine is really cryptic. he only comes out when he smells mysis. is yours out and about most of the time?

Great shots! Such a neat little shrimp

Do they pick on other shrimp and snails?

i was wondering if the cleaner shrimp can nip on coral and eat starfish? i got a red starfish and almost 1/3 has been eatten after few weeks... i have cleaner shrimp, pepermint shrimp, and a coral banded shrimp

Thanks guys! He doesnt mess with any of the other tank mates. He only comes out right before the lights go out or when the starfish emerges from the sand.

I'll see if I can get some of cool ones.

Awesome

Will bumblebee shrimp group up? Because that would be awesome

Mine eats raw shrimp

That's freakin awesome

matt - One of my fav photos. Thanks for posting it up! I think they will group up. There super cheap!

Here's a cool one that I got a couple weeks back. The funny thing about this photo is he is peaking around
