    :(
    I got my fire fish yesterday and he is doing great is already out swims around and already ate today, also got a small frag of zoanthids and they already opened so YAY

    BUT MY SHRIMP!!!! i had him for 2 weeks before yesterday....I put the fish in and 2 hours late he starts acting weird ...not himself ...swimming abnormally hiding more frequently.
    This morning i found him on his back...thought he was dead went to remove him from the tank as soon as i got near he took off lie "what the hell man!" i was freaked out...i left him alone come back a few hours later...on his back again...legs all folded in but as soon as one of the hermits came near he was spooked swam in a circle then hid.....

    What is going on?!?!?:cry:

    Same thing happened to me about 2 months after getting my very first tank. It eventually died. Im not saying this is going to happen to you but I was told a shrimp can have a bad molt every once in a while and it could lead to its death.
