Funny Coral Banded Shrimp!!

[bammbamm74]

How many of you get attacked by your CBS when you put your hand near it's "spot". Mine has a spot on the back of a rock, and when I feed it, she first attacks me, then notices I have food and takes it. Last night, I was putting some Stop Aptasia in the tank near her rock, she ran and JUMPED on my hand, attacking it. It was funny. Then it looked like she was cleaning my hand. She started pulling the little hairs on my finger!!!! That little devil! <img src="graemlins//evilwhorn.gif" border="0" alt="[Evil Horn]" />

Hi,
I have a cleaner shrimp that will jump on your finger and start to clean my fingers.The little thing wont get off after its on but when you get your other hand in he spooks and jumps to some of the LR.Cool little guys.

My cleaner shrimp is like that too, but now the CB is so BRAVE> She walks all over the reef with the lights on. AND now she is very aggressive towards my hand in the tank by her rock. LOL Cracks me up. Hope she doesn't stress the fish out I'll be getting next week. I was hoping to put the cleaner shrimp in with the CB, but I think she's too territorial and will kill it. Oh well.

My cleaner shrimp and wrass clean my hands. My clowns and tangs eat out of my hand. I dont like it though cause it sets up an unatural enviro.
