I also just drop my shrimp in, no problems. I would suspect a mantis too, as they seem to be able to more easily get shrimp. Hermits are tough, I've never lost one to a mantis. I had a mantis banging on a snail the other day, no luck there for mantis either. Luckily I saw it and it was in a small isolated rock, which is now in quarantine in the backyard.
I've discovered new mantis and crabs in my tanks after years of running, so it is possible to have a long running tank and still miss stuff.
It could also be the 6 line, but you'd probably notice aggresion as soon as it saw the shrimp, not in the middle of the night.

My sixline never bothered the cleaner shrimp that was in the tank before him, but went after a few other inverts that I introduced after he was in the tank. Never killed anything though(he's still just wee).
