It is possible that i have found the reason why i cannot keep shrimp or emeralds any more, and possibly why a 4 year old healthy GSM clown disappeared recently as well.
looking in my tank last night i saw a molt. first molt i have seen in over a year. This was especially surprising to me because i have not had any invertebrate in the tank for about that time frame as well. (exceptions being a black brittle star , a serpent star, and a handful of snails.)
i also cannot tell what the molt came from. From the partial molt, It appears to be a shrimp of some kind, possibly wasp-like in form, with several swimmerette-like appendages, each containing hairs.
this is why i am thinking mantis, but i cannot see the tell-tale mantis arms in my discovery.
I never hear any clicking.
i took some video with my new camera (still yet to take new tank pics though), and frankly quite amazed that photobucket let me host a 250mb video lol. here are two, let me know if you can make anything out!
