LTA question

my LTA that i got last friday is still hiding i got an cleaner shrimp haven't seen much of them, the shrimp was mia from the night i got him, then today i used a light to shine at the lta in the rock and there he was next to the lta still alive, does a cleaner shrimp resist the sting cells of the lta??

 

From my exp. I have seen shrimps close or near lta's but with a respectable distance. If the shrimp is really close, then they have formed a relationship like a clown does with it. Mother nature is very unpredictable and adaptable.

 

Lta could of gotten hungry. I've seen a bta i had eat the left overs from a cleaner shrimp molting.....

 

the shrimp seemed to be moving, the lta is in rockwork and it makes it hard to see him, hope he is doing ok some days he bigger than others but i don't know how he is getting the light and water movement that they need, but i guess if he wasn't happy he would move. one day he may be tiny like 1.5in around and the tentacles are very thin then the next day he will be 3-4in around and tentacles will be kinda normal looking.

 

My bta moved around until it was happy. then it stayed in the same spot forever...
