I have a Purple Pseudochromis/ 2 percula clowns I think they killed my cleanner shrimp. The reson i think that is the shrimps antenna were in different places in my tank and he is no where to be found.
I thought these guys where friendly fish.

there is a good chance that what you are seeing is the shrimp's molt. If you have a larger tank (29g or larger) the shrimp can hide.
However, there is also a chance that the shrimp died and you are just seeing the decomposed pieces.
I don't think any of these fish killed the shrimp

would either be a molt or the pseudo. i believe they are not shrimp friendly.

renogaw,
I did not know that they are not shrimp friendly. I have a purple pseudo in my 29g with a cleaner shrimp and I have not had a problem yet. I hope my pseudo doesn't like shrimp.

 

[brigbills]

we just see it antennas no molt I have 55 gallon tank haven seen him since.

How long has it been?

Its the pseudo, quite possibly...
But how about a run down of your water parameters, how long you had the shrimp, etc, etc and we'll start from there.
