Cleaner Shrimp Dead?

I just bought a new skunk cleaner shrimp yesterday and acclimated him for 1/5 hrs with drip method along with a bicolor pseudo. The bicolor is doing fine. I am looking at the shrimp now and he is not moving, he's pale and I tried to poke him with a tube but he's unresponsive basically.

You think he's dead? And also why would he die so fast like this? This is my first shrimp in the tank!

I tested all my water yesterday before I bought him and everything was as follows:

Salinity - 1.025
Temp - 78.4
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
PH - 8.2
Calcium - 450
Mag - 1120 - a little low
KH - 15 - high
Phosphate - 2 - very high, but I just added RowaPhos to a phosban on friday so that should hopefully come down soon.

What do you think was the problem here and how can I fix it?

Thanks!

Also should I dose anything if so...what?

 

are you sure its not a molt.. My shrimp's molts look just like him..

 

Are you sure he didn't just molt? I've had that happen and thought the same thing.

 

+1 on the molt

 

+1 with bama. Take a good look behind your rock work, might be behind there.

 

Bama,
You beat me to it, guess you type a little faster lol. I'm a "hunt & peck" kinda guy.

 

haha, I'm very very quick

 

I'm gettin' better. I'm up to about 4 words a minute now ;D.

 

Not sure at all...I'll keep looking for the real one then I guess.

But the one I am kinda poking looks like the real thing...

Its moving kinda too....but that could be the current.

Why would they molt? - Stressed? How do I tell for sure whats going on? - Time?

 

Usually right after molting they will hide for a few days until they're new shell hardens. And they usually leave the molted shell out in the open as a distraction. Sly little creatures they are... Just keep looking in hiding places, hopefully he'll pop up somewhere.
