I have a 12 gallon nano cube tank and have had it for 8 months. In the tank a have a blue blenny, a yellow watchman goby, a pair of saddleback clownfish. I also had a Fire Shrimp but it died. So i got another one and it has been fine for 3 months. Yesterday he shed his skeleton and when i went in to clean out his old skeleton i noticed him lying on his back. He had about 3 broken legs and couldnt stand up. I know the shrimp loves the watchman goby, but do you think the clownfish hurt him? I have already put him in a bowl and gotten him medicine from the store, but do you think he'll survive? all fish are tank bred.
 
if he is eating he can recover.. when they shed they are very "soft" and suseptable to injury. time will tell if he ok
 
I would like to know what medication you got for the shrimp?
 
i didnt know you could get invert meds? i thought most meds were copper based which harmed inverts?
