is it a hollow shell you see, or do you see flesh in the shell
if your right you could have a hitch hiker in your tank, also do u have any brittle stars in your tank because some will eat fish and shrimp

Oh that happened to me too..I found him next to my anenome broken in half-not eaten-just broken. I do have a brittlestar, but why would he not eat him, why just kill him?? My other shrimp is doing fine and I've seen him side by side with the star..I think there is another culprit..but what could it be? I have 2 small clowns, 1 anenome, 1 pep.shrimp(now) 2 tiny hermits, 1 brittlestar..who done it??? LOL

Then I am at a loss....but the tomato may have got hungry possibly. I had a tomato in my aggressive for a few days (babysitting) and he would eat silversides and krill just like the rest of my fish. So maybe he wanted a taste of shrimp.
