|  Pistol shrimp killing a cleaner shrimp?
I just watched a video that was posted in a thread on here. It showed video of a pistol shrimp killing a cleaner with its snap and the bubbles it creates- like an air stream. I was just curious if anyone has had this happen in there tank and if i should be worried about having a cleaner and a pistol shrimp together?

That's out in the reef, who knows even though we try to make a reef in our tank things can still be different. If I feed well and the pistol shrimp is eating plenty of food he might not resort to eating my cleaner. I just want to know if anyone else has seen this happened? | |
