    Default Cleaner Shrimp.....not too bright?

    Well for some reason our cleaner shrimp decided he needed a tan or something, he managed to climb out of the tank (via power cord for a PH is as best I can guess) and perched himself under the PC light fixture, we have glass between the tank and the light fixture a few inches are open for cords plumbing and such.

    Needless to say, by the time I found him he was quite the crispy critter.

    I've never claimed to understand why anything in there does what is does, but generally understand some of it... this was just bizzare... not sure if he was was out for a stroll and got too far away from the water to get back or what.... odd critter, but he'll have to be replaced here in short order.

    Anyone else see shrimp with this sort of behavior?
    Every electronic device is manufactured with smoke stored deep inside... only a true genius can find a way to set it free.

    He was a very affectionate shrimp also. When I would hand feed some of my coral, he had liked to climb on my hand and ride along during the feedings. I will miss him because he was so friendly. What a bummer!

    Not with cleaner shrimp, but a few snails, crabs and a few fish...
    There's nowhere else I'ld rather be... unless, of course, you're buying
