| Re: My Shrimp is dead You sure it's dead & didn't molt? The stress of going to a new tank may have caused it to molt. Your temperature is fine.

| Re: My Shrimp is dead Crabs & shrimp shed their outer skin similar to the way a snake does as they grow. Stress is a leading factor also to them molting. The molted skin will look hollow. It's possible the damsels attacked it.

| Re: My Shrimp is dead if it didint molt, i would blame the damsels, my damsel loves the taste of shrimp.

| Re: My Shrimp is dead I thought my crab died once and then his ghost showed up 3 days later. Shrimp are vulnerable when they molt and sometimes die. Let us know if he shows back up

| Re: My Shrimp is dead easiest are chromis fish. If damsels can really go for shrimp then my damsel has a LOT of explaining to do... 3 shrimp down to 2.
