mcarroll Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 How often do you feed him? Quote Link to comment
Seb8316 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Eh, 2-3 flakes a day and my dead skin cells. 1 Quote Link to comment
mcarroll Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I'd suggest more feeding for him, at least in the short term, at least until it stops being so aggressive to your corals. 👍 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Yes, feeding your peppermint shrimp might help to reduce its instincts to pick at anemones, coral, fan worms, etc. However, in my experience, many/most peppermint shrimp have this tendency. In my opinion, they should be considered "reef safe with caution" instead of being "reef safe." 1 Quote Link to comment
Seb8316 Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 Oh ok. I’ll try to feed him more often. Quote Link to comment
Seb8316 Posted February 24 Author Share Posted February 24 Update: It worked but my peppermint shrimp will occasionally dance on top of the two frags. Also, my duncan has been looking a bit different. I hope its still healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment
