skunk cleaner shrimp

Has anyone had complete success here? One of my cleaner shrimp had a clutch of larvae and then this morning they dissapeared without a trace. They looked like really small mysis last I saw them stuck under His/ Her tail. I have been reading that it is very difficult but I would like to try to...

I have a dilemma. I found a great pellet coral food that I want to feed my coral but my skunk shrimp keeps robbing it from their mouths. I want to keep him but he keeps stealing from the coral bad. I tried feeding the tank first to keep him busy but after a while he still comes by and steals the...

My cleaner shrimp is carrying eggs. I know this a very common occurrence, but i still think its really cool so i thought i would share a pic of it. To bad they are just going to be fish and coral food!

Our Stomatella lost its tail. Our Skunk Cleaner Shrimp went mental for it, nibbling away. Question is, if Shrimp loves Stomatella tail so much, why did Shrimp ignore it when it was still attached to Stomatella? Hope you can help :)

Hey everyone, I have had a small skunk cleaner shrimp in my nano reef tank for about three months now. He has been molting fine (once every two weeks) and he is acting normal (swimming to my hand when i feed or move stuff around) but he has acquired a few small black dots on him. I saw these on...

I have recently set up a 10g nano. CUC was the first to go in and consists of 3 ceriths, 2 astrea and 1 margarita snail (which I got for free because LFS didn't notice it hitching a ride on one of the ceriths). My husband went to the LFS without me *sigh* and bought a skunk cleaner shrimp 2...

I recently picked up a skunk cleaner fish at the local fish store along with a zooanthid frag and a turbo snail. Since I got them, the firefish that has been in the tank for several weeks is getting more freaked out from the cleaner shrimp. Are they supposed to be getting along? I don't think...

Hi all, I have just started seriously trying to raise cleaner shrimp larvae. My current batch has been going for a week and there are at least 6 in there that are going strong. I had a large die off last night because I ran out of BBS so they died of starvation.:o I am not raising them in a...

Well tonight I was looking into my tank to see when my cleaner shrimp would spawn. I saw it fanning its eggs so it got me thinking that they would spawn. Soon enough there were tiny little shrimp larvae all over my tank. I tried catching some and I put them in a in-tank breeder box. I have no...

Hello, I was lucky to get a video with my iPhone of my Blue Tang getting cleaned by my Skunk Cleaner Shrimp in my 4 month old Red Sea Max 250 reef tank. The shrimp usually sets up shop on a rock outcropping and removes parasites and dead skin from any fish willing to be cleaned. Most of...

Well today I had to fish out the remains of my hermit crab. He had been eaten whole almost, only the legs and claws were left. I saw him come out last night as was acting perfectly normal. Everything else is doing extremely well in the tank. I have: 2 clowns yellow watchman goby 3 chromis Skunk...

For the past 2 weeks my shrimp has had these black markings on him.. Looks like he has mud smeared on him almost? Can anyone ID what it is?

i have historically had bad luck with shrimp... but a few months ago i was walking by my tank with a cup of coffee and i saw this huge aiptasia. it had to have been like 3" tall! i think i actually made a noise, it startled me so bad :rolleyes: well, ever since i nuked that one, i have been...

I just purchased a cleaner shrimp about a week ago and all he does is hide in a tunnel under one of my rocks besides occasionally coming out to eat at feeding time. Would getting another one help him to feel more comfortable or does he just need some time? I hope to get him to the point that he...

So I went to my LFS today in search of anthias. I have done alot of reading and asking other who have anthias their experiences. I picked up a skunk cleaner shrimp. I didnt have any shrimp and who can go with out shrimp. Second I picked up a yellow watchman goby. I have been looking for a bottom...

Hi all, I have been waighting for the right time to add fish to my newly setup 20 gal tank. Everything is good with the tank but i'm worried about my new fish. I got two verry small clown fish and all they do is hide behind my power head mount accept for feeding. I figured they just need time to...

Well, I put so much time and effort into my tank that I really hate to sell it but I just don't have the time to dedicate to it anymore. PM me if interested, I won't separate the corals, it's all or nothing. 30 gallon tank with oak stand and canopy 20 gallon custom made sump Mag 7 return pump...
