Bumble Bee Shrimp

[DFason]

I've had this guy for 6+ months now.

The hunt is on!

My bumble bee shrimp loves to hunt this guy down. He will post up on the rock behind, drop off spiderman style and then go in for the kill. I think he only eats a few pieces and then books it. Yesterday he went in big and I was able to snap some pictures for once. By far some of my favorite photos

P.S - Anyone else have one of these guys?

Thats soo cool. He doesn't actually kill it though right, just a little snack?

That's one cool little shrimp!

i have one in my tank,too!

 

[DFason]

Yep. He just takes a snack and then leaves the crime scene. Sometimes he will ride him and then wait for the perfect attack.

I can feed him Mysis shrimp but sometimes that just isnt enough

i had one for a couple yrs. he harrassed my starfish to no end, so ended up having to put him in another tank. neat little buggers though.

i wonder if they will eat brittle stars. i have thousands of the mini ones all over my tank. once the lights go out or if i feen all you see is legs. real interested if they will eat them

Thanks guys. I can get some decent shots with the macro point and shoot camera but nothing to fancy.


Here's a cool one that I got a couple weeks back. The funny thing about this photo is he is peaking around
