Shrimp and the new Christmas Rock...help!!!

[misty927]

My scarlet cleaner shrimp is continually stuffing his arms down the worm holes of my new bisma(christmas rock). My lfs said the worms would go far into the rock and the shrimp wouldn't be able to reach him, but I wanted to get another opinion. So, do you guys think it would be ok or should I remove the digging shrimp???

I would remove the shrimp if the worms are your priority. He WILL eat them- that's one of their food sources in the wild. If you haven't already, do some research about Christmas Tree Worms. They can be hard to keep alive in captivity and often starve due to lack of insuffient levels of the proper foods.
Here are a couple of links to start.
