Almost never see mine. Sometimes after lights out. Honestly, not even sure how many I have. I added 9-10 to help battle aptasia, no idea how many are in the tank now!

Perfect thank least I know now he's probably hiding anyone there that would be willing to help me with my tank I'm pretty new to salt water and my partner knows a lot about tropical we have a 550 ltr with sump

I never saw mine during the day. I actually thought they had died, until, I looked at the tank at night and saw them roaming about.

I don't see mine until about 2am.... And about every 10-14 days they have babies!

I bought 8 of these 3 weeks ago 1 was larger and the others smaller.
I have only seen the larger one for the first week hiding in caves. I have not see one of the smaller ones they all swam into the work work as soon as they hit the tank.

Since then I have not seen any of them now. However I have seen a big break out of aiptasia show. I was hoping these would keep up with them since i had to get rid of my file fish for picking my zoa and my duncans. Man that file fish did work not one until he left...


My cleaner shrimp is always out and about..

I bought a Bald shrimp (native Aussie) only see it at night and then using a torch to hunt it down.
They tend to have a favorite hiding hole.

I thought it was just me. My peppermint shrimp and my emerald crab have decided to become best buddies. They live in a cave together and are virtually gone from the tank during the day. During coral feedings, the peppermint shrimp will usually come out for me to blast him in the face with some food. Outside of those times, I rarely see him or the emerald crab. I did notice one aiptasia on a frag before going on vacation, after I came back from vacation, I couldn't spot the aiptasia. So im guessing my peppermint shrimp is working!
