First off I'll make it clear, YES, I have checked all water parameters except copper, but I know this tragedy wasn't because of copper since I have mostly inverts in my tank and they are all sparkling healthy.
I have two featherduster worms, 2 clownfish, 5 astrea snails, 3 turbo snails, 17 hermit crabs, one starfish(WAY TOO SMALL TO HURT THE FIRE SHRIMP), one toadstool, one GSP frag, red bush algae bush.
This morning I woke up and checked on my tank, and my fire shrimp was entirely fine except for one eye being slightly tinted gray, but other than that he was in perfect health and he ate. Not even an hour later when I came home from church, he was dead- on his side, and his eyes missing from his sockets but no other signs of injury, trauma, etc. The tank was not cloudy at all so no struggle was indicated, it's as if he just dropped dead out of nowhere.
He was in perfect health and died an hour later, can anybody figure out why he is dead and why is eyes are missing?
