Camel shrimp


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

HAPPI CNY!!!

Okie.. got a prob for quite a while le. There's a camel shrimp, which i bought back then when i have no idea it's not exactly reef-safe, and it's getter bolder and bolder, munching on my corals..

I tried catching it, but it moves so fast. Any tips to share on how to catch it?

have the same experience before with camel shrimp. wasted much time.

at the end, gave myself the excuse to rescape which resulted in removing all the rocks and live stock.

Camels are more difficult to catch than skunks, becos of their getaway style...they shoot backwards and are very fast.

IMO, they are already very difficult to catch with a net, so using hands is out.

traps are your best bet other than rescaping your whole tank.

i think the name camel shrimp comes from the slight hump in the back. that's how to differentiate from peppermint shrimps. and yes, it is definitely not reef safe. i have one, but it's in my sump so can't wreck my corals :evil:

Be teachable always, nobody has a monopoly on wisdom. But learn to distinguish "fact" from "opinion".
