Babies!!!!!
Yeah, it's a pretty hard life to be a baby anything in a reef. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on your point of view!) they're the best food you can get!
My clownfish babies suffer the same fate. One day, I want to attempt to raise the fry to adulthood.
Cleaner shrimp will also spawn in captivity the same as peppermints ... all you need is two. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, no-one has yet been able to raise cleaner fry successfully. I do beleive it has been done for peppermints though.
cheers
