    This is probably a rediculous question, but i believe my dwarf angel has been harasing my cleaner shrimp because he wont clean him and he seems to have nipped off the shrimps antennae. Will the antennae grow back?

    Yup, it will grow back. Are you sure it was the angel? I have an emerald crab that likes to nip at the cleaners in my tank.

    it could very well be the emerald crab, but i havent seen him in about a month and assumed that he was probably dead. My only logical guess was the angel because he would rush the cleaner a little when he was rejected. I also have a fire shrimp, but his antennae are still there, just look a bit shorter.
