I think it is pretty common that a new introduction (fish, shrimp) gets attacked/eaten within minutes of entering the tank. Something about their confusion...they are new/interesting...they don't know where to hide or how to behave...makes them subject to attack.
Once successfully introduced into the tank, they can often last quite a while.

yup, been there, done that.. oops! Yet another reason why I like to add fish late at night after everyone has already gone to bed, or at least really tired and groggy.

I have one living nicely with a white cheek tang, 2 small clowns (1.5-2") a 2.5" 6 line, and a cardinal fish.
I make sure the pig is fed, and he leaves the snails, and other fish alone. When I add new fish I need to float the bag a long time. Once he can't eat the new fish from the bag, he gives up. I turn off the lights, add the new fish. One thing I learned is to be careful when lifting the bag... It is full of holes... I now double bag before dipping in the tank..... LOL
