I found my lost cleaner shrimp!

Need I say more? I guess he got a little too close

 

Oh my!

I have a Flame Hawk too - what a totally classic flame hawk pic. They love the element of surprise for sure. Mine is always trying to pounce on stuff. Looks like yours got lucky.

Poor shrimp - I am now wondering how the flame will do with the "sword swallowing act" it looks like he is doing.

Excellent camera shot though.

+k for sharing.

 

I thought cleaner shrimps only dealt with external parasites
maybe the hawk fish doesnt know this eh

Siddique - if it makes you feel any better, I figured camelback shrimps that where moving my zoanthids about in the nano, should be moved to my 60
my niger trigger totally agreed with me, and ate better in terms of value than I did that day - doh !

Thanks, This is probably the only good shot I have of him.
I'm sure that he'll swallow it fine.

So did I Steve lol.
Ohh man, that's almost like a fine Lobster meal at a 5star restaurant

 

Sorry for the loos, but that is a great shot a a somewhat amusing story to the shot.

 

Thanks,
That shrimp is petty new anyway. Funny enough, he leaves the other cleaner shrimp alone (knock on wood)
Good thing I didn't buy the scarlet cleaner instead, that would have hurt my pocket

 

Ouch, yep, they will do that.

Great picture

 

Here's a better pic

I also noticed that my blue legged hermits are missing but I'm not sure if the hawkfish or the lunar wrasse is to blame.
Here's a better pic of the hawk and his new antennae

 

You got my hopes up! Then you crushed them. Downer. Thank a lot!

 

Great pics, bad loss, sorry to hear
