Hitch Hiker in my orange tip milli

[thairun]

Yesterday discovered a crustacean green in color that hide in between my milli. Managed to retrieved the quarry and discovered to be like shrimp with big pincer. This is the first time seeing such hitch hiker. Anyway it hosting with a smooth acro crab which am keeping with no detrimental effect.

Anyone can ID photo attached

This is where the burger resided, which clearly shown some receded patch in the center. Sorry for the bad pic taken after retrieval.

The cousin haha

You might be right Jacky, when the time I pickup the shrimp by a twizzer it jumping with a snapping sound. But frankly the claw doesnt look like one coz long time ago used to keep them in my refuge in sand and chip rubble not in coral.

Anyway what it is, do be caution on it. Especially sps keeper, now my milli recession areas recovered and polyps start to grow back.

Experience the same recession last time when a small hairy crab in my hairy green milli. The recession is due to eating or grazzing the polyp and cause half of my milli gone stress and STNed. Luckily managed to safe apart of it.

They have a symbolic relationship with Acro.. So i not sure if they can survive without Acro...
