well today my coral banded shrimp killed my cleaner shrimp
should the coral banded shrimp be taken out of my tank?
bought it a couple weeks ago from global and the shrimp didnt look like it was gonna accually kill my cleaner shrimp so i just left the coral banded shrimp in there.

I'd pull it.
They are predators, if it sees the cleaner shrimps as food, it will just keep doing it.

so yea...now im stuck with this killer!!

If you plan on keeping any other shrimp or slow fish i'd get rid of the CBS, they are natural killers.

My CBS has killed several sexy shrimp, a cleaner, and a blood shimp. I suspect him of killing a few fish as well. Problem is I can't catch the little b@stard without removing all the rock. If you can catch yours, I'd recommend getting it out of the tank. Mine is history when I upgrade the tank in the next month or so.
