%^&#@*$ Coral Banded Shrimp
Just ate my Xenia Frag??????
It was almost shrimp on the barbie.....
I saw him messing with it and chased him off and then fed the tank in hopes he would forget about it. Well, I went back and it is gone. He is perched on the rock where it was

I bet your xenia is floating around somewhere. It'll grow and you'll notice it one day. I might be wrong, but I dont think CBS eat xenia.

Maybe...It was fragged from my bigger colony that I put into a nano tank as the first coral. Hopefully he blew off the rock, but he was laying into it before I chased him off.

if you break off his big claws they will grow back... but it will slow him down.

I have a not so nice CBS. Had to place him in the sump he attacked my chromis and my very friendly cleaner shrimps. BTW, I couldn't even begin to consider breaking off his bigger claws. He's a pet even if he's...hmmmm anti-social
