yea, anybody have any suggestions with feeding them? i just target feed them with coralife invert target food at night. i was thinking of placing a cut soda bottle over them when feeding so they have more contact time with the food? would this work? plus they feed when i feed the perculas....also anybody have any tips on catching a pepermint shrimp other than the inverted soda bottle? thanks

For the food the bottle thing will work.For catching the shrimp,you can try a net food in it and let it sit there or they make a trap that will catch it too!

It looks like a decorator crab to me. Is he taking things in the tank and sticking it to himself? If so, then that's what it is. |
