My Reef Tank Introduction. Rock Flower Anemone Vs Peppermint Shrimp.

My 36x27x20 reef tank (92x65x50 cm) with LPS, SPS and softies Fish: two Yellow Tangs (Zebrasoma flavescens), one Brown Tang (Zebrasoma scopas), two Azure Damsels (Chrysiptera hemicyanea) and a beautiful pair of Wyoming Whites (Amphiprion ocellaris). Soft corals, mushrooms, zoas are often much more colourful than stony corals, so I really love them. I have also three rock flower anemones, and one of them was attacked by my peppermint shrimps, which supposed to eat aiptasia only. I have three of them, and they decided for some reason that rock flower was quite delicious as well. I had to save my anemones somehow. Catching the shrimp was impossible, so I made kind of a specimen container out of what I had on hand, a plastic bottle, and isolated two anemones growing on the same rock. It&curious that shrimps attempted to eat only one anemone out of three.
