Peppermint Shrimp ate my Hammer!!!

Peppermints are evil! I had 2 that killed my acans but the karma bit them in the ass, my 6 line bird, killed both of them. He was swimming around one day with a leg hanging out of his mouth. I wont ever own a peppermint shrimp again!

I dont know what to do for the coral but i would wait it out and see if it grows back and keep an eye on it for infection

It seems to be coming out. I just hope it will cover the skeleton so Algae won't grow on it until it has time to hopefully grow over it. Infection... what should I look for?

When my torch got infected the flesh continued to withdraw and then it started spewing brown stringy gunk out...

Mine keep gettin eaten by my serpent star i was upset at first but im glad now. Wish i couls of returned him though instead of him gettin eaten but oh well.

I'd give it a Lugol's dip to help prevent infection.

Explain.... I heard about this... It seems better now.

Fried shrimp, broiled shrimp, bacon wrapped shrimp..... sorry your shrimp went rogue. Little bugger. One of mine snacked on some zoos. I hope your hammer heals well.

Lugol's is an iodine solution you can dissolve in a container with tank water and dip your coral in for 5-10 minutes to help kill bacteria, pests, etc.. and help your coral heal.

Thanks, I will try that. It appears that it is open somewhat normally this morning. EMC2.. funny thing is, My sons suggested Shrimp for dinner. We did grilled shrimp and I think I got some kind of sick pleasure out of skewering each one!
