Caught in the act....

My 8 bubbletips and assorted rockflowers in my 90g routinely eat sheds from my shrimp, but they're never eaten an actual shrimp.

I've seen this shrimp molt once, but never saw it molt with its antenna intact like that. I'll continue looking for this shrimp but still think the BTA ate it.

My Condy Nem went on a rampage and ate all of my pulsing Xenia. (That's one way to get rid of the "nondestructables".)

My shrimp and porcelain crabs molt with the antenna attached...he might shown up in a couple days if it’s a molt!!

I would be so happy if that was the case!

Update: the shrimp is still alive!!! The BTA was eating the molt. So happy and relieved.

This morning one of my bta had shrimp antenna hanging out of its mouth. Just a molt. Glad yours was too!

Whats the odds of that?

I came down for the daily morning feeding @ 6am and wondered immediately what was sticking out of my BTA. The murderous thing was eating my poor purple banded collar shrimp. Granted that my tank is small (13 gal, the Shrimp was very small and growing and I've had the BTA about 2 months.) RIP Shrimp. So sad. I knew it was a possibility but didn't think it would happen. Tell me about what your Anemone has eaten!

im assuming you have the fluval Evo 13.5 ?

IKR? I forgot all about it until I read this thread. Had to get the flashlight out and make sure I still had 2 shrimp! The nem was pretty silly looking with those big old antennas.

Not a Molt?

My sebae ate a kole tang. It didn’t end well for either.
