    I had a pair of these shrimps (I forgot the proper name of it) in my tank. Now, I couldn't see them anymore. What is the chance they became an expensive snack? The other tank mates are Ocellaris Clown, Kaudern's Cardinal, Mandarin, Royal Gramma, 6-line Wrasse. I have plenty of corals and hiding spots.

    This is the female one on my leather:

    I'd say the odds are pretty good, unfortunately; the 6-Line, RG, Clown, and some Cardinals (not sure on the Kaudern's) have all been known to kill shrimp.

    I was gonna say that if the RG was in there its a good bet they are gone. Sorry

    +1 for royal gramma. the only inverts I can put in my tank these days are snails because he kills all shrimps and crabs.
