I warned them!

I warned the Skunk Cleaners to stop stealing food from the Flower Nems.

Sorry for the crappy phone pic.

No mistaking. Its the full shrimp. Molts don't kick frantically trying to escape.

This is why I don't have shrimp in my tank. I prefer the mouths of my acans to not be ripped open. Revenge is sweet tho.

That's a pretty seriatopora in the top left.

I agree. I had a pair of cleaners that would steEl the food out of the mouths of my blastos and annoyed the crap out of me. I just bought 2 harlequins but they won't be thieves. Thinking about a blood red shrimp. I do not remember the one I had opening corals mouths to steal food.

My Flower Anemone consumed my peppermint shrimp, Shrimp tried to steal LRS Reef Frenzy and the anemone wasn't having it :mad: I freed the Shrimp but the next day I found his "tail" sticking out of the anemone ;Dead they never learn!

I have a blood red and I have to constantly chase him off corals while feeding

I stand guard when I feed my corals and RF nemes to keep my skunk and blood red shrimp from stealing food. Never had them irritate or damage coral before though.

OP, that is an awesome picture. I did have a lobo that ate shrimp molt.

Not sure why that picture didn't show up.

I feed the shrimp first then feed everything else and stand guard. Nothing more of a pain then feeding my anemone and the food almost gone and the shrimp comes by and takes it. Literally out of their mouths.

I pulled the corpse out the next day. The shrimp was way to big for the Nem to eat. I'm shocked that the Nem caught it since they are typically pretty quick. The other two are now hanging out on the opposite side of the tank.
