Are you sure your sexy shrimp were eating zoas? Kinda freaking out now as I've never heard of such a thing.

I can't comment on the ones you have but mine were. Upon searching, I found out that if not fed atleast once each day, they will much on corals, particularly zoas.

Here's a good read on them:

Here's a quote:

Are sexies reef safe?
YES! But, if they are not kept well fed, there is a big chance that they will munch on your corals. Some people don't have trouble with this at all, but I personally have to feed mine at least once a day, or else they start binging on zoa skirts.

Maybe its a hit or miss too
