    So i have a bulb tip anenome who keeps getting beat up by my shrimp.
    Is this normal? It has little scars on it now and it's getting rediculous. Already got rid of some shrimp, and got some without claws.
    No it begins again..
    Have you guys had this problem?

    Bulb anenome. First it was an aggresive band coral shrimp (i got rid of him) and now it is a camel? shrimp (no claws) but when my anenome is sucked up the shrimp goes to town trying to eat it, which makes my anenome more sucked up. Its not very good to watch. and i have to shoe the shrimp to the other side of the tank.

    camel shrimp are a fairly aggressive breed as well, my recommendation is either skunk or peppermints if you just want them for looks
