Dead sally lightfoot crab

[mckaax]

I have no idea why but 2 weeks after I drop the crab in it died. It has been eating great and I have no idea why it would just croak? I have two coral banded shrimp that are a pair, could they have killed it?

I have had my sally light foot for about two months now. Yesterday I woke up and said oh my god my crab is dead! Turned out it was just it's shell. I second the above. Make sure it's not hiding somewhere in the rocks!

My Sally Lightfoot was very shy and I hardly ever saw it until I installed my T5 vho fixture. I actually thought it was dead when I didn't see it for a couple of weeks! It was just hiding in the LR. Now I see it every day, eating algae.
