My cleaner shrimp has been missing for the past seven days, one of my clown fish also died today I’m beginning to suspect the pistol shrimp, any ideas he disappeared without a trace and I can’t find him. Any help would be greatly appreciated

What else do you have in the tank? Any pictures?
My phone’s not letting me put pictures on this but in the tank I had a pair of clown fish now only one after one died, royal gramma, hermit crabs, snails, Pom Pom crabs and a porclin crab, and the pistol shrimp I’m suspecting

Are you 100% it’s a pistol shrimp? I have seen people sold zebra mantis as pistol before. If it is truly a pistol shrimp I would be very surprised if that’s what is killing things. Anything else weird going on? How old is the tank?

It’s definitely a tiger pistol shrimp, i’m also surprised, but I don’t know what else it could be, the tank is around three months old
