My FIRST WOW experience (7 months in)

[Powahfull]

I think this goes here k have no corals just live rock fish and shrimp/crabs.

Anyways!!! So I know ONE person in real life who has a salt water tank and he says his peppermint shrimp bites him I read online they cannot bite you.

So I put the theory to question today during my water change. I have a VERY friendly peppermint shrimp the second one is very curious but still scared.

So as always when my hand gets in the tank he wants to say hi I never swatted him away I would just wiggle my fingers until he fell off rinse repeat until I was done.

Today!!! I decided let him I thought man that little dude bite me then again and again!!! Then I finally realized he was just pulling my little hairs out of my hand like he was looking for aptasia!!!! He never bite me he was almost like cleaning my hand!

I love it you guys are the best thanks so much for allowing me to be apart of this community! Happy holidays best wishes!

Skunk cleaner shrimp will actually crawl on your hands and clean under your fingernails.

I've often tried to get my wife to do it, would save a ton of money at the nail salon. lol

My shrimp does the same when I put my hand in the tank. The clownfish on the other hand bite the ever living crap out of me
