Camel shrimp picking at anemone

[Raider0622]

Hey everybody. I used to have a 29 gallon fowlr tank with various fish and inverts. I have started a 75 gallon reef tank and moved everything from the 29 into it. Everything is going great except for the camel shrimp. When I purchased him for the 29 gallon, it didn't matter that he wasn't reef safe. Now he is nipping and my rock flower anemone and I don't know what to do. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to stop this behavior or what to do with the shrimp? Thanks!

Remove it from the tank. You'll never change him, it's in his nature.

What should I do with it after that?

Bring it to your LFS for credit or sell on a local forum

They love mushrooms also!

I have a mushroom but he's never picked at it. Just the rock flower anemone.

Its simple. You just have to chose if you like shrimp or the anemones/coral. You can’t have both unless you physically keep them separated.

Yeah. I think I'm going to end up bringing the shrimp to a lfs. Thank you for your help.
