Shrimp are attacking my new urchin and frog spawn

[Carl Eckelman]

I have 3 shrimp now

Peppermint, fire and cleaner .

The peppermint and cleaner are being aggressive towards my new urchin and frogspawn

Will this settle down?

I've never had shrimp make trouble with my urchins so I can't help there, but they are likely just stealing food from the frogspawn. This can irritate the frogspawn but I don't know of any way to avoid it other than making sure the shrimp have their own food when you feed the frogspawn.

Shrimp either are

1. Cleaning up any new algae on the new introductions.
2. Stealing food from the coral and they can damage the coral behind repair. (feed the shrimp more)
3. Scavenging secondary to decay or pending death of the urchin.

Ok
I just got them and I did not know you feed frogspawn. How do I feed them and how much?

It depends on how large it is but not much. Just squirt a little frozen food on them with a turkey baster once or twice a week and they will be good.

It is not necessary to actively feed the frogspawn. Keep a close eye on the coral and urchin as they may be on the way out as previously mentioned.
