Coral banded shrimp and BTA

[Kelly Mohr]

I have definitely had my problems with this nem. I let it get stuck in the gyre a time or two (I know...know...) and it has moved around the tank a few time and has finally found a spot. It was recovering when I started feeding it better and I was hoping it would recover...

Now I just see short tentacles so I think it’s the shrimp. I even saw it mid-pinch several times and have tried to chase away the shrimp...but of course the nem has decided to use the one hole on the one rock that the shrimp likes to hide under...

I am not going to try to remove the nem because it’s foot is deep in the hole. I also have just started to increase feeding to try to appease the shrimp. Is there any other advice you’re willing to throw my way?

Try if you can move the rock the shrimp might move to a new home.

I do a rearranging most weeks with water change so will do.

Id rehome the shrimp...they're opportunistic and will always steal food .
