idiosyncraticeee Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Hey CA2OR, how do you know that the purple tang whacked the cleaner shrimps? I didn't even think about it until I read your post but by cleaner shrimp went MIA around the time I introduced my purple tang. I have a coral banded shrimp and a peppermint shrimp that seem to be doing fine. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA2OR Posted December 27, 2009 Author Share Posted December 27, 2009 I watched him do it. He let the CS clean him all in the mouth and around his body, then when the shrimp got done with the tangs tail the tang turned around and started shredding him. Once that happened my wrasse jumped in the fun and it was over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
