pepermint shrimp
+1 on the wrasses and especialy the snowflake-went to the asian market and bought 5 lbs. of live prawns-5 survived the trip home-put them in the tank and they were gone in 5 minuites-he swallowed them whole and they were 6-7 inches long

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

I want to get them out because they've developed a taste for My seriatopora/yellow tipped birdsnest. This is the second time starting to lose this type of coral, but the first time that I'm aware of the cause since I witnessed the shrimp eating it. I would prefer to get rid of them manually, however doing so is not without it's challenges, I've got alot of sps frags that are happily planted and staring growth that I don't want to jeopardize by trying to catch a shrimp.
