I like the look of them, but they are a problem.

I have seen them in reef tanks before. Are they just a problem with mushrooms or is it their general behavior that annoys the corals? Just wondering because I would like to have one eventually. Before you skewer him let me know, maybe we could trade something. I'll try most things (not that they always work).

Yeah, I see what you mean. I really want some cleaner shrimp, so I better steer clear of the CBS. I should have known that anything with claws like tat would be trouble. If they only ate hair algea instead of livestock!

Maybe a LFS has a Trigger Rental program that could help you clear up that shrimp problem.

I think I will try and remove him tomorrow. Have not decided what to do with him once he is out.....think it is going to depend on how cooperative he is
