Default Stinkin' Cleaner Shrimp

So today I bought a cleaner shrimp.

He was looking great in the store and even after I drip acclimated him he looked fine. He was hanging out on a rock.... and I kid you not.... he literally just seized up and rolled onto his side while I was watching him. I asked my wife to come see the new addition and HE FRICKEN FLOPPED OVER!?!?!? Just like that?!?

WTF??!?!

Everything else in my tank (inverts included) are fine and I have lost nothing since starting to add livestock 3 weeks ago.

The water has tested fine so I can't understand what the heck happened. I know shrimp can be sensitive to change... but the fact he literally keeled over while I was looking at him?????

Anyone seen this happen before?

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
