attack of the killer shrimp

[attempt]

The other day i was rearranging some rock in my tank. All 3 of my peppermint shrimp and my cleaner shrimp "attacked" my hand.. I would waive my fingers at them and they would dart away only to creep up on me again and attack.
why the heck do they do that?

Time for Scampi, imo. You ain't no kind of man taking **** off a shrimp.
Here

Shrimp Satay:
1 pound shrimp, peeled
Salt and pepper
1 bunch fresh thyme
Olive oil

Guacamole:
4 avocados
6 cloves garlic
1 bunch cilantro
2 ounces sour cream
Salt and pepper
1 lemon, juiced

Garnish:
2 pink grapefruits, peeled and supremed (pith and membranes cut away, leaving only segments of grapefruit)
Preheat a grill. Place the shrimp on skewers and season with salt, pepper, and fresh thyme. Place the shrimp skewers on a platter, drizzle with olive oil, and let marinate for approximately 20 minutes. Place shrimp skewers on grill and cook for about 4 minutes per side.

Peel and mash the avocados with a fork, making sure you leave it a bit chunky. Chop the garlic and cilantro. Add the sour cream, garlic, and cilantro to the crushed avocados. Season with salt and pepper, and add the lemon juice.

To serve, place a spoonful of the guacamole on a plate. Place the shrimp skewers on top of the guacamole, and garnish with grapefruit supremes.

I had a cleaner that would do that .. allthough it dosent hurt .. as soon as my hand ws in the tank he would come over and pick the hair on my arm .. a little annoying at times .. I would let him .. no big deal ..

my clown on the other hand .. goes into full attack mode that little bugger will attack me from all angles as I try and feed the other corals .. and in no way on gods green earth am I to get too close to his aneome<sp> all hell will break loose! ... its too funny ..

my wife just laughs .... :roll:

he dont like it much with I am in the tank! ..

more than likely they are just looking for food. try feeding them, they'll eat from your hand.
