We have had a peppermint shrimp and a cleaner shrimp both appear fine one minute, then about 10 mins after the feeding...they ended up dead. Maybe it's coincidence, and maybe they get a good whiff of the garlic and croak. Also some of the corals (bubble, xenia, etc) retract after the feeding, but always recover. Normal?
Thanks in advance.
What is the brand or type or garlic you are using?
