I just purchased two peppermint shrimp and my Naso Tang has them cornered and is trying to eat them. Was I not supposed to put these guys together? What can I do to stop this?
Hello,
Anything can happen, in this case you must remove either the fish or the shrimp to your quaranteen tank, you do have one I hope. Then possibly take them back to the store.
The other thing you could do is to add more cover(rocks, coral, etc.) for the shrimp.
We took our net and moves the Naso away from the shrip and they ran into the live rock. I think everybody will be okay now, I hope! We have 90 lbs of live rock so they have plenty of hiding places that he can't get to.
