A message from bubble corals to cleaner shrimps........Don't steal mah food

 

[fmelindy]

Amazingly enough, it looks like the bubble coral caught and ate the shrimp! It made me think two things:
1: how stupid and slow do you have to be to be caught and eaten by a bubble coral???? Hence, perhaps it was putting the poor stupid thing out of its misery!!!

2: I wonder what happened to those two other shrimp that just disappeared without a trace?
Whatever the case, it was pretty funny (in an expensive and somehow unfortunate way) to have this sight greet me when I got home from work....

Sure that's not just a molt? Looks kinda clear to me.

 

[fmelindy]

Absolutely positive. If you look closely there are eggs underneath the tail. Clenaer shrimps never molt when they're carrying eggs. Besides, the shrimp is gone!

 

[wax32]

Ahh, thought that was mucus.

Thats amazing. If I thought your bubble would live outside your tank I'd buy it from ya and put in my yard in hopes that it would eat my neighbors dog
