    Default That DARN Shrimp !!!

    Now top this !!!!

    I was putting a frag of some Zenia down on a rock and had put my zap gell on the underside of the rock to get it to bond. I was holding it there for a bit, and IT wasnt quite bonded yet. I took another cynoacrolate glue that I had with a nice little applicator tip on it, and I put it up against the gap of the rock, and proceeded to squeeze a nice blob right between the gap of the rock, and the frag rock. As I pull my arm out of the water, here comes this darn cleaner shrimp, and before I could chase him away, he had his claws in the glue and got himself all glued up. HE got away, but managed to glue his 2 front claws together, and his other 2 arms just behind his claws. ARRRRGGGGHHHHH !!! There is no way Im gonna be able to catch him to remove the glue, But it looks like he is handling it ok, as I have seen the "glob of glue decrease in size. Sheez.... Darn things ... I guess thats what entertains me about those guys... is how curious they are.
