Right so iv stupidly put a shrimp in the tank without research! What a tool.....I know. I purchased it from the lfs and it was in a reef tank so the thought it cud be a pest didn't cross my mind. It's been in the tank for a few weeks with some lps and sps corals. I don't intend on keeping softies but I'm wanting to know would you guys suggest removing this shrimp? Are they lps/ sps eaters? What's your thoughts

If your talking about few of them you might be able to catch them and get them out.

If you never plan to have any shrimp in the tank, you could get something like a spotted hawk to hunt them out for you.

Camel shrimp may pick on some corals and anemones, but you may have a chance of them working out. How many did you get?
