I have had mine disappear for days at a time, shortly after i find them as well as a empty exoskeleton. I would say they are just molting.

I had three and I have no idea what happened to two of them. Mine does not hide that much after molt and I have similar fish to you. There is no way too know how old they are so could be old age.

When I got my cleaner shrimp it disappeared for a while. It was not till weeks later when I got a xl cleaner shrimp that the first one finally started to come out. Now they both come out at night and during feedings.

No they are gone. Unless your fish are real mean,but I don't think so.
