Coral Banded Shrimp

[Jeff Page]

I have had several small Ruby Red Dragon's and gobies dissappear over the last 6 months. We'll tonight I watch the shrimp corner two dragon's. One got away and the other was grabbed. If th shrimp would have gotten a second claw on it, the Dragonette would be gone. Guess I am going shrimping in the morning.

If you keep them well fed they're usually not an issue, and if you have lots of small hiding spots for fish that certainly helps, too. Mine swiped at a small Mandarin Dragonet when I first introduced it, but after a few hours of establishing its dominion over the tank it gave up and went back to less intensive pursuits.
