Anemone Shrimp

[JizzHut]

Good Evening people,

I've notice that everytime my Green BTA is expelling her waste and look like its in the state of melting, the anemone shrimp will start to nip the anemone? I'm quite sure the shrimp is eating the anemone because the shrimp will have this green thingy inside the body.

I've seen this twice already.. my BTA should be healthy because the very next day its opening and looking normal again.

Have anyone of you experience this before?

Thank you for your help

i have a shrimp in a carpet as well and i believe so that this is how the shrimp gets its food from apart from feedings in the tank.

because the shrimp will have this green thingy inside the body

you'd know this green thing is not permanent if you isolate the shrimp for a couple of days. if you do not feed the shrimp this green thing will gradually disappear meaning that it is food picked up by the shrimp
