What ate my peppermint shrimp?

Thanks Ken,

They were in the sump for month before I moved them into the display tank. Same water.

I think I'll check the tank out about an hour after the lights go off to see if they come out just to be sure they are gone. I'm pretty sure they are gone though.

When I fed the tank they weren't shy and would poke out of their caves and grab food.

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.

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???

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?
