    Default First Frogspawn and it's under attack

    Well, I've finally migrated here from michiganreefers and I also picked up my first frogspawn today. only problem, one of my peppermint shrimp took a liking to it and starting an all you could eat buffet. I've place the coral in a strainer and am floating the whole thing at the top for the night. Anyone had this happen before? If so, is there any way to solve the problem, or are you stuck removing the shrimp?

    Thanks for the advice, I'm excited to find another awesome community to be part of.

    Are you sure it's a Peppermint Shrimp and not a Camel Shrimp? They do look very similar and the Camel shrimp are well know for tearing up the corals. Either way I'd remove it if it were me.

    Glad to have you here on CR!

    Did the shrimp attack the frogspawn after you fed the tank/frogspawn?
