Woke up yesterday morning, to find a huddled mass of hermits, sally's, nassarious snails, and my brittle star munching on something. Moved closer to see it was my fire shrimp!
I don't know whether it died of natural causes, or if something got a hold of it. But it's been in there for a while and nothing's bothered it so far. Decided to leave it in for food, and came home after work and there wasn't a trace to be found.
The brittle star (reddish brown) decided to try to take in a leg, and turned his body into a tent with the bottom of the leg still sticking out of it's mouth...it's fine this morning though.
Just venting because I loved that shrimp. Now I need to buy another...no...two! I also have a skunk cleaner and a pair of peppermints too.
I wish I could say it was just a molt, but they were pulling chunks of meat out of it.
