Hi everyone...
I'm new here... this is my first post.
i have a 55 gal tank and i was wanting to get something to stir up the sand a little bit... i did a little reading on the SSS because there was one at my LFS.
I went ahead and picked it up... then did a little more research and decided maybe that wasn't the best move... but that's neither here nor there now...
i got home a few days after it had been in the tank and it was missing a leg...
some of the cleaner shrimp would go over to it and i guess clean the wounded area off for it (although it looked a little rough to me) anyway i know the regenerate so i was worried but not too worried...
all i have in the tank is 2 emerald crabs a few Pep Shrimps a skunk cleaner 15 or so blue and red hermits and some turbo snails...
a few days past and i came home again and almost all of my crabs had a turbo in the corner and were ripping him out of his shell (since then I've added more shells for them) and my SSS had another leg ripped off and he was ripped in half...
any ideas on what could have done this? i thought most of my inhabitants at the moment were relatively docile...
i appreciate all of your help
