EMERGENCY!!!!! to help or not to help???

[gharner]

so i walk into my room and check out my tank.....and my pappermint shrimp is being eaten by my green open brain coral!!!!!!! the shrimp looks close to dead (he is kinda white...not moving a lot), and the brain coral has him half eaten!. should i pull him out?! will the coral be damaged if it eats the shrimp?????

Sounds like it is a goner and probably was dead already. Let nature take its course

Agreed.

Yeah, It probably was already dead, consider it a treat for your brain.

it is very possible that it is eating the molt of your peppermint shrimp. Mine does this almost everytime i see molt in the tank

it was definately the whole shrimp....i dont really care cause it was neat to see. it was like revenge for the brain coral (the shrimp stole food right out of its mouth every time i fed them)

oh well, i really just wanted to make sure that it wasnt gonna hurt the coral at all.
