I must say, I've never before had shrimp clamber over dividers to cannibalize their neighbors. Royal terrors to the last.

Nice shrimp! :) Yes, these guys are the most aggressive Macros I have ever seen. They won't tolerate anything else in the same tank. I will post pictures of my M. carcinus soon. I've been meaning to do this for a while now...

How big is yours? Mine should be about 5-6 inches (on the massive side as far as body goes) without claws and is still not fully grown . He is about 1 year 2 months old.
