I have 3 sexy shrimp in my tank for a little over a year. Never bothered anything in the tank. Except, now one of the shrimp seems to have a fetish with my aussie micros. It only gos for them and nothing else. The micros are healthy no die off. I just see the little bugger eating away at that coral.

Does anyone else have any sexy shrimp or heard of them eating lps ? even thou they live in them

That shrimp has gotta go. Sometimes they just turn evil like that... I had a peppermint go psycho and it started killing my LPS. I dismantled all my rock work to get it out...

It could just be stealing food particles from the micro, or just cleaning it off. Is there any ill affect taht you can see on the micro?

That is a fairly common occurance, I've had them gang up on a cowry snail and take it down as well. I keep eight adults in my little 1/2 gallon desk top tank for breeding purposes and would not put any into a coral reef display.
