Re: Peppermint shrimp

I don't have a peppermint shrimp, but my skunk cleaner eats my stomatellas
and sand sifting snails. If he finds one on his journeys through the rocks
he'll pry it off the rock, flip it over and dig it out of the shell. I've
watched him do it several times. My stomatella population has decreased
dramatically. I am also missing a redheaded goby and my cleaner shrimp is
the prime suspect. The shrimp used to chase the goby and it was not
cleaning activity. This shrimp is predatory.
