Peppermint shrimp eating lps frenzy

Reef Junky150 · Sep 10, 2014

Had three for a year and in the last week have decided to take on the meal of my acon frag frogspawn and now trumpets. Time to catch some shrimp!
Looks like I need to find them a home

Going to catch them this weekend, shouldn't be hard since I've caught emeralds and every time I feed these guys are out.

Must be a clean system, try feeding them some mysis or something, that outta do the trick. They are scavengers and will eat whats available.

It is way to clean

I just use a water bottle and invert the top put some food in there amd they will get in. Mine went to the sump

I'm thinking the same unless I can find someone local who needs some

i feed my shrimp algae sheets. They like it and I already put it in the tank for the urchin

Do that too, but if Angel and tang don't finish it off I pull it not to create po4

Shrimp won't come out for it when fish are on it

slap a hunk under a rock so most of it sticks out.. they will find it there.. they are scavengers

Also... if you have a good skimmer, you should not worry about a little waste in the tank. I will leave my strip in the tank until it is totally dissolved or something eats it all. By strip, i'm talking 1/2 inch wide by 3 inches long. it feeds the shrimp and also the urchin.

Caught one in two minutes having my bottle trap in their. Other two are mia which is very unusual. I wonder if they are molting or just shy tonight

Maybe they know whats up and are in hiding

Not likely, they are fat and usually out whenever I feed and have not seen the other two today. Next time I feed and see them it's fishing time again. I caught three emeralds I can get these boogers
