Murder Mystery?

I went on vacation for 10 days and threw a vacation feeder into my tank for the fish to eat. I had a velvet damsel, striped damsel, and two cleaner shrimp. When I came back there was only the smaller cleaner shrimp left. I cleaned out my tank and there were no signs of a dead cleaner anywhere. No clues anywhere. Now the striped damsel is very small so there is no way he could have had the shrimp for lunch. The velvet damsel is a little bigger then a quarter. He doesn't look any bigger then he did when I left. Has anyone heard of damsels eating cleaner shrimp?? The shrim was bigger then the damsel was.
 
Size really doesn't matter when it comes to hunger. During the break, I slept in quite a bit, not feeding my fish at their usual 6:00 feeding, but more around dinner. My angelfish one morning could not wait that long, turned on her very good house keeper, Mr. Cleaner Shrimp, chopped him in half and fed herself. Sometimes it just comes to that extreme.
