Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

These fellows go 2 ways only - voracious eater or refuse to eat and starve to death. The former is more common. My skunk cleaner swims upside down to grab food from the water surface! It shamelessly grabs food from the corals too.

they will even pick dead skin cells off your hands if you put them in...really annoying actually.

I second that! And I think its the easiest LS to catch because it comes to you.

Sad news.

Rescaped my tank yesterday and noticed my cleaner shrimp missing.

Thought it was just hiding to molt but if disappeared the whole day.

Just found that it was sucked by my seio wavemaker used as a return pump. :cry2:
