Hey that little shrimp definitely looks like a boxer or maybe some kind of snapping shrimp? Those guys can be super interesting to watch with their claw snaps! And bristle worms are a mixed bag for sure. Some are totally harmless scavengers but others can nip at your corals, so good call keeping it isolated for now. Do you think that shrimp might be helping clean any of your frags or just hanging out? I’ve noticed little critters like that sometimes stick around my Pulsating Xenia since the flow there stirs up food particles. Also curious if you’ve seen any changes in your Royal Gramma

Haha nice, Pulsing Xenia is like a party for little cleaners! Hope your shrimp’s enjoying the buffet. And hey
