Had 10 down to 6 I think. Food stays high in the tank the shrimp are hungry. They picked off cleaners then started each other. Seems stabile now. Or maybe @OrchidMiss has been using them to cook

Oh! It’s C. cuvieri, I thought the white marking was maybe a defect but didn’t really focus in on it as much as I should’ve.

Makes sense. Maybe I should have said that those pictures are of two different ones. I was sure the first one I saw was a gaimard with a scraped face too.
