Australian Stripey question

[robertc137]

Hi, Is it possible that my 5" Australian Stripey is responsible for disappearing recently of five cleaner and one blood shrimps ?

Greetings. They are very active, as you know, but I don't think "shrimp" are really on their menu. Do you have other suspects in the tank you can point to? (And did your shrimp they die one-by-one over a period of weeks, or pretty much all in a cluster event? )

I have few wrasses but they were with shrimps all the time (yellow tail tamarin, yellow Coris, melanurous and black leopard). After I added stripey my all rock flower anemones slowly dissapeared, my few small bubble tip anemones went into hiding under rocks.
I lost first two shrimps two months ago, then I added three at same time in about month ago. Last time I saw them last week, I thought they were hiding somewhere but I cannot find them for past two days.

They are known to eat aiptasia so it isn't too surprising that you lost your anemones. Not too surprised if you lost your shrimp as well, but shrimp also hide at times. Plus, it is possible for a wrasse pr even some other organism or fish to decide to take a nip at a shrimp
