Lost my mantis shrimp

[windcoast reefs]

Well when I was switching my sumps out, I noticed that my mantis shrimp was gone. I emptied everything and still no sign. I figured there would have been at least a shell or something! Any ideas what could have happened to it, seeing as how it was the largest thing in the sump?

Sleep with one eye open... :eek:

maybe he's curled up into a hole in your live rock.

There wasn't any live rock where he was, just a tube to hide in.

How long was he in there ?
Maybe he totally dissolved away ?
Are your neighbours missing any pets ?

I think you would see a shell or something if it had died.

She probably digged a hole in the liverock and it is hiding inside the liverock?

At least that's what mine does.
