ok i dont have a coral reef tank, i have a 75 gallon saltwater fish tank, today i desided to get a cleaner shrimp, and a emerald crab i thought she would be something different to look at. once we got her home and in the tank, i quickly remembered that i had once used copper to rid some parasites. i remember the fish guy telling me that i couldnt have any inverterbates in the tank while treating it. so i gave back the starfish i had and treated the tank. this was about 6 months ago. is my cleanerfish going to die cuz i had copper in there before? i tested the level and it was 0.2, but i dont really know if that is bad for the shrimp. can anyone help me?
