this is a definite possibility....I think CB shrimp shouldnt be sold as reef safe....


it could potentially be your pistol as well too (it doesnt happen often, but it does happen).....how have you been acclimating the peppermints?....does your tank evaporate a lot and if so, do you have an ATO?.....some shrimp are extremely sensitive to things like PH changes, salinity changes and temperature changes
