    they close up at night its common. Peppermint shrimp... mine i think is eating my frogspawn, they might be headed to the 46 to do mortal combat with my clownfish. I dont trust them but that doesnt mean anything lol

    They do shrivel up when the lights go off.watch the peppermint shrimp as they can take a likeing to some corals.And small anemones and mushrooms are a type of anemone.
