Maybe it just died? If he intentionally killed it for hunger, I would think he would have eaten it too..

no it was full of color and it was full, not just the shell.
when i picked it outta the water i picked it up by the antenna. with a molt u cannot, they usually tear off.

ok i have foud out the problem, it was a lack of iondide i think. it may have died while trying to molt. i have bough some iodide to dose and also bought a tiny fireshrimp, he is a maroon alomst black and as they molt it will turn more and more red. i will get pics up later if anyone cares to see. it looks black and white.

i hope he makes it. does anyone think tht only an hour drip acclimation might be a problem?
personally, whenever i buy inverts from my fish store (Hidden Reef in Levittown PA)...I never drip acclimate them
I just temp acclimate them for 30-40 minutes..
I only drip acclimate fish mostly
crabs, shrimp, snails tend to be pretty hardy...they only require temp acclimation IMO when bought from your LFS.

i didn't bother reading any of the responses so if this is a repeat, sorry. i have a 6 line and he kills EVERY shrimp i put in my tank. he's killed peppermints, cleaners, fire, and even a coral banded shrimps. i know it's hard to believe but i had to get rid of him cause i'd rather have shrimps than my 6 line.
