+1 on the slow acclimation. A 2 point difference in salinity (ie. 1.023 and 1.025) is enough to kill them instantly if not drip acclimated over at least a half hour. Shrimps with their thin exoskeletons are incredibly sensitive to osmotic pressures.
There is the possibility that the shrimp is hiding. I think they know they taste good. It's not unusual at all for them hide incredibly well at first. Of course, it's possible he was someone's lunch too. Hard to say. You never know he might show up in the coming weeks. Or ... not.

I am pretty positive the dottyback ate it at this point. That would explain her weight gain. No way it was acclimation otherwise both would have died and not just one of them. They came out of the same tank at Golds and were acclimatized in the same bucket, then scooped up into the same net and released into the tank.
