What eats my shrimp?
I recently added some cleaner shrimp to my 75 gal reef. It contains a spanish hogfish 3 inch, yellow tang small and 4 chromis. The shrimp were gone the next day. Are any of the fish suspects?

Are you sure they are gone or just not visible?

Many other wrasses have lifetime professions as parasite cleaners. However, Spanish hogfish only pursue this occupation as juveniles; when they mature their diet changes to crabs, sea urchins and molluscs.
To me the Spanish Hogfish is a suspect! Johnny ![]() |
