What ate my peppermint shrimp?

[Snaz]

I lost a peppermint shrimp to my candycane coral, walked by the tank and it was half engulfed by one of the heads. I pulled it out of the coral but it was a deader.

That's wild. Killer candy cane.

[gobytron]

you're all wrong.

it was ME...

[gsar]

I'm glad you could clear your conscience

[reefwars]

have you checked your sump maybe they found there way back down???

[gsar]

YOU GUYS WERE RIGHT!

Little buggers only want to come out at night.

I was fooled by the fact that they were out in the open for the first week in the display tank. Maybe because the light cycle in the sump was the opposite of the display tank and they finally adjusted?

Sort of like Shrimp jet lag?

A happy ending!! Better than mine. I never found my cleaners or peppermint shrimps. I think my small wrasses (fairies, flashers) think that I was a wonderful Mom and providing them with fresh snacks!
