lol, I just sent you a PM. Cleaner shrimp can be mean buggers. I have a bully cleaner in my tank also. He’s actually pretty entertaining even though he kills off some of my cleanup crew.

I'm not sure.. Yesterday mine attacked aswell.... i'm wondering about the feeding also. Here http://archive.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1024799


someone suggested I wasn't feeding enough.

i'm not really sure.

My peppermint shrimp was afriad of him from the beginning, yet i've never seen him come near any snails.

do you have fish? they usually eat the fish food, and they are pretty aggressive in going after it, so that should satiate them.
