So I have an anemone shrimp (it's small, clear, and has blue markings on its body and tail). Well, it has been in my tank for about two or three weeks now and moves about the live rock. Anyway, last night, he decided to move into my green bubble tip anemone that is already hosted by my Maroon Clownfish. This morning, I noticed my shrimp was in the sand and one of his front claws appears to be wrapped behind his head. He jumps when I touch him with a feeder stick but his arm looks pretty rough. I moved him into a breeding net so that the other fish cannot bother him and hopefully he may recover. My questions are:
- Do shrimp usually recover broken(?) limbs?
- I read that clown fish and anemone shrimp may host the same anemone but, are Maroons more likely to fight to have the anemone to itself? I find it "convenient" that the shrimp is injured less than 12 hours after moving into the clowns anemone.
- I recently moved the Maroon Clown out of a tank that had Perculas b/c I was advised of their aggression (though he was not showing any aggressive behavior toward them). Are these fish aggressive toward invertebrates as well?
Thank you all for the advice!
