why is my cleaner shrimp hanging out by my LT anemone.
is this normal.
clowns still did not take to anemone.
and they dont seem to like the cleaner shrimp much aswell.
this anemone was MIA for about 5 days and finally poped up last night.
has been in new spot for 24hr+++, and now the shrimp is on it 24-7.:notsure:

Which is it?
Is the cleaner shrimp hanging out near it, or in it?
Do you feed the anemone? If so then your oppertunistic shrimp is most likely waiting for a meal.
If and once your clownfish take to the anemone, I can assure you that the clowns will not tollerate the shrimp anywhere near the anemone.

near it, but walks in it from time to time.
i did feed today, but gave the shripm a bit of food to keep it busy when i fed the anemone. clown will not let the shrimp clean them.

i have a coral banded shrimp and he is always next to or underneth my LTA dosnt bother it or nip it and doesnt bother the clown either.
And its nice now for my clown i purchased a condy about 3 weeks ago and my maroon is now hosting it,so he now has 3 anemones to go to.
