HELP!!! Clarkii Clowns and Camelback shrimp

[marcandkelly]

I just added some camel backs (3) to my tank and my clowns went right after them. Will the clowns kill the shrimp or will they learn to get along?????

I never had a problem . . . CBS are curious but they never harmed anything including my sea slug.

mmm...How often did you feed your fish? Just kidding It may depend on the size of your tank sometimes fish may become protective of their territory, although I've never heard of them getting aggressive toward shrimp, how big is your tank?

Thanks for the replies. The attack occurred when the shrimp where first let out of the bag but all has settled down no. I guess I just panicked when the clowns attacked. The shrimp spend a majority of the time in the LR (as expected) and when they do venture out the clowns don't pay any attention.
Thanks again,
Marc

From what I understand, most fish will 'probe' anything new that is put in the tank.
My damsel worried me alot because it picked on my new brittle star relentlessly for a day, not it totally ignores it.
