Evidently, Cleaner Shrimp like to eat parasites which are protozoa but they have no interest in fungus.

A fungus that most people are familiar with is the mushroom. Lots of people eat mushrooms but I don't know anyone that likes protozoa pizza! ]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2004 16:37:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15097&title=cleaner-shrimp#15097 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15089&title=cleaner-shrimp#15089 Author: ewaldsreef

Well it already has a friend, or three (2 cleaner 2 peppermint total).
And it is contagious. I found spots on the other cleaner last night.
the good news is at least i don't have to get rid of the other one
'cause they both have it now. There was a fireshrimp waiting to come
home with me, but i think i'll hold off on that for now. ]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2004 08:45:26 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15076&title=cleaner-shrimp#15076 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15059&title=cleaner-shrimp#15059 Author: Mark Peterson

The shrimp may live for a long time this way and in a healthier tank who's to say that another shrimp will catch the fungus. Are you hoping to get it a friend?]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2004 23:06:28 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15059&title=cleaner-shrimp#15059 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15018&title=cleaner-shrimp#15018 Author: djangoboots

Thankyou, but I am in SC. I do have a fuge, but since it is on the
same system as the main tank i don't want to risk it. not sure how
this is transmitted. I don't think it is going to clear up since it comes
back after every molt. :(]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2004 14:34:22 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15018&title=cleaner-shrimp#15018 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15014&title=cleaner-shrimp#15014 Author: ewaldsreef

If you dont have a refugium I could let you keep it in mine to see if the spots clear. ]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2004 13:43:42 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15014&title=cleaner-shrimp#15014 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15013&title=cleaner-shrimp#15013 Author: djangoboots

F.Y.I.
I have been told that these spots are a fungus that will eventually kill
the shrimp and will spread to other shrimp, but harm nothing else.
not sure what to do now. i don't want my other shrimp to get it, but i
have no where to put the infected shrimp.]]> Tue, 13 Jan 2004 13:29:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=15013&title=cleaner-shrimp#15013 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=13676&title=cleaner-shrimp#13676 Author: KeoDog

has anyone ever seen black spots on their cleaner shrimp? One of
mine has developed these black spots on her, when she molts they
are gone but then reappear slowly. They're mostly on the female
who otherwise seems very happy and is carrying a new batch of
eggs. ]]> Wed, 31 Dec 2003 09:18:13 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1581&PID=13675&title=cleaner-shrimp#13675
