Icon5 cleaner shrimp

my investment that i made last nigtht is now poured down the drain. my coral bandit* shrimp had my new cleaner shrimp half way eaten this morning. i'm assuming the same thing happened to my peppermint shrimp as well.

a moment of silence please, JK!

but anyway, im trying to figure out if he killed them and ate them, or if my sixline wrasse killed them ate part of them and then the coral bandit shrimp finished the job.

Conclusion: Live and Learn

I have a sixline wrasse an when i bought a peppermint shrimp the moment i put him in the tank the sixline bit him in half before he even hit the bottom of the tank, so it might be your sixline doing the killing and the other fellows doing the cleaning up of the bodies.

I figured it would probably be that. Thanks for the comment.
