I've heard of guy's getting peppermint's, Thinking they didn't make it.
Then 2 years later when they tore down there tank finding them.

There mostly nocturnal so your best bet is some late night flashlight hunting.

I got one that lasted about 28.5 seconds in my tank before my Purple Pseudochromis got it. So I don't think it is unlikely your sixline had a snack.

I added a small peppermint shrimp in my tank about 3 months ago and never saw it again, so I thought it died. Last week I was looking at my tank and saw it hidding in the rock work.

Threw a peppermint in my tank in April (had 6-line, Purple Tang, couple of clowns and cleaner shrimp), seen him a couple of days later, not since.

Cleaner still around and not saying the MIA peppermint is related to the 6-line just pointing out...

And if it is still around, sure not doing much on my aptasias.

Peppermints are incredibly shy. Particularly small ones will disappear for months. You can really be fooled into thinking they're gone, but they're not, one day you'll be looking and notice them all of a sudden.

Not saying it's impossible otherwise though. But my guess is they're probably hiding.
