freakin royal gramma eating my peppermint shrimp!

[ralph atl]

I feed my Aptasia very well, so I am in a constant battle for 3 years. This is from insuring a huge pod population for my pipefish. I usually have between 6 & 12 in my tank plus 2 skunk cleaners. I always noticed my skunks dead after a few months, and I notice that my peppermint just disappear....completely. Ok, so today I took my granddaughter to the Avarium to get my parrots wings clipped, and I realized that I hadn't noticed my peppermint shrimp, I'll just pick up 3 while I'm here. After acclimation, I noticed one of the shrimp blowing in open water and bam! In the gramma's mouth it went! Whole! ****! So all this time I just couldn't figure out why I can not keep shrimp! :doh:

I didnt know RGs would do that. They do have big mouths, though...
