Angel Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 As with any new livestock, they need to be watched. There have been reports of them eating some corals by numerous people. Yours may be different, but watch to be sure. Link to comment
Undertheradar Posted September 8, 2004 Share Posted September 8, 2004 the problem with coral shrimp is that there are many species...all harvested under the 'camel' or peppermint shrimp name that look very similar. Correct IDing can determine if yours is a nice one or meanie. I have the complete baensch marine atlas series (even the 4 german ones)...trust me...there are about 9 species of camel shrimp.

NCNBilly Posted September 27, 2004 Share Posted September 27, 2004 My "peppermint" shimp ate all my button polyps in an evening. He molted shortly after, and I think the emerald crab got him.. Karma is a beotch. Link to comment
