I woke up this morning and checked out my tank. I see a peppermint shrimp picking at the center of my prized donut (cat's eye) coral. I'm really "t'd" off. What is going on here? Should I be giving more food to the tank? Right now I have a average bioload:
2 clowns
1 green chromis
1 hippo tang
1 marine betta
1 mandarin
lots of snails and little starfish and corals.
a 75 with another 20 gallons in the sump
I feed every other day. 1 cube of mysis, 1 cube of brine and I put in cyclopeze about every third - fourth day. Usually all the food is almost totally eaten (maybe 5-10 pieces uneaten) within 10 minutes. I figured this was good, but after seeing the shrimp I'm not so sure.
