Fire Shrimp

[adampw]

I purchased a fire shrimp last week and noticed today it was messing with my BT anemone. The anemone immediatley began to shrink up. I was under the impression fire shrimp were peaceful. Should I be concerned about this?

Nope. They wander around looking at just about everything. I have a fire shrimp in my tank and he rustles around everywhere, but doesn't cause any realy problems. I have three BTA's and no harm has ever been done. Watch him, but don't worry unless it is clear he is a bandit and is eating your BTA (doubtful). They shrink up on their own and may not be directly correlated to the shrimp. Good luck.

Not if it is a fire you should be fine there just some really curious shrimp.

Shrimp may also try to steal food from your anemone come feeding time. Keep an eye out to make sure this isn't happening, or your anemone won't be happy.

The shrimp does try to steal food from my anemone. I have to distract him when im feeding :)
