Feather duster - Peppermint shrimp.....

Ok...learned another tough $15 lesson......
Bought a dwarf pink feather duster...
Within 20 minutes of putting it in my tank, my largest peppermint shrimp made quick dinner of it.....
Incredible how strong those shrimp can be!

I never even gave it a second thought....but trust me....it ripped it to shreds from one end to the other and I had even burried all but the "head"....

I've obviously got some very hungry peppermints.....
