My cleaner shrimp is just sitting in one spot in the tank. Hasn't moved for quite a while. The other shrimp is moving all over the tank just doing his thing, but this one just sits there. Is that normal?
Is this normal?

Are you looking at a shrimp molt? Shrimp are always moving their antenna.

Ok. It moves kinda slow. But fast sometimes. Sometimes completely stops moving.

The royal gramma is hiding in a shell. Looks like it's shivering and once in a while makes sudden movements. It won't come out. Whats wrong? The firefish are fine. I tested the water and it's fine. Ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0 pH 8.2. The shrimp are also fine. Just the royal gramma is acting like this!

Looking at others experiences with these fish they tend to be shy and hide out. Once they are comfortable and have their own territory they will come out slightly more.
Remember most reef fish live in the rocks. The rocks corals etc are their homes so they naturally live in them.
I have a coral beauty that comes out only for a few seconds to eat. Kind of annoying but that's fish.

This morning I looked in the hole and the shrimp was eating the gramma. That means it died sometime last night. Still gonna gradually fill the tank with fish. Was looking for something yellow and something blue. Want to get another royal gramma.

From reading the other threads you posted about this tank, I'd wait until your tank is more stable and has better equipment before adding more livestock. That was the advice offered to you by others in those threads.

My shrimp has little black spots in it's stomach area. Like INSIDE it's stomach area. Is that it's food or a disease?

I read about that, but these spots aren't on it, they're IN it.

My shrimp get green "spots" in their stomachs, which are eggs. Can you post a photo?

Not a very good photo, sorry. Just think the black spots are weird.

From the best I can tell, it looks just like my shrimp. I don't see anything wrong with it?

Here's a photo of one of my shrimp. It has the same black spots that you are describing.
