    I recently introduced 2 1 3/4" blue hippo tangs, they brought out the ich after introduced into tank. treating for that with Chem-Marin stop parasite product.

    I witnessed one of the blue tangs lying on its side ( i thought it was dying) until I saw a peppermint shrimp picking parasites off the tang, and have seen this activity twice since.

    Has anyone seen this from peppermint shrimp before? I thought it was interesting.
    :eek:
