Peppermint Shrimp & Red Serpent Star
Our peppermint is helping himself to the legs of the newly added red serpent star!!!
What the heck is he doing that for? We researched and there is nothing we could find that said the peppermint would snack on stars! Do we need to seperate these two? |

Oh, sigh, reef-safe is a relative concept.
The starfish might be near death, which can set off scavenging signals. The fact that the peppermint can attack it that way is a bad sign. You could try putting the shrimp or the star in some sort of breeder box.
