Iv had a small out break of Aiptasia going on so i ran out and bought 4 peppermint shrimp.. within 2 days they are all gone.. so is the aiptasia (or so i think) so no worries... then the aiptasia is back and im really not in the mood to buy 4 more peppermint shrimp to feed someone in my tank... but i do and again with in 4 days all the pepper mint shrimp are gone!
Here are my top 2 suspiscions..
Large Green Brittle Star fish... Central body is about the size of a half dollar..
Sally Light Foot....

I would also say the brittle star, since it is large. However, to be sure list your fish. I had a yellow pseudochromis that all the articles say is reef safe, obviously he didn't read the same articles
He ate 2 fire shrimp, and one cleaner shrimp before I could get him out.

Don't see any potential shrimp killers, I would then assume the brittle star. If you can, take it out and sell to lfs for store credit. When they get real big they can become fish killers too.
