Hopefully this will work!

I have been reading alot about how aggressive the fire shrimp is towards other shrimp. I do not think that aggression would be the right word though... how would you react if someone just walked into your home? I know this sounds an awful like anthropomorphism, but if we all did infact evolve from some sort of bio-goo some of our eariest traits like aggression towards all things foreign must have some commonality, right? Well that is my 2 cents fwiw.

I have filmed a lot since I got my new camera, but this is the only video clip I have been able to extract. It shows a fire shrimp and a skunk shrimp, which by the way are both cleaners, eating just inches away from eavhother and in the vacinity of the "aggressive" fire shrimps territory. It does not show the other fire shrimp cleaning up the left overs as well as the other skunk cleaner just leaving before I pressed record.
