Glass anemone shrimp breeding

One of the two glass anemone shrimp that were housed together somehow moved to another cell on its own. It must not have liked its roommate. It is now living with another shrimp.
 
I tried to find things readily available and cheap that I can make the small isolation boxes with, preferably something that doesn't require much work and are easy to work with, but I couldn't find any to my liking.
So I tried making them myself. These are the prototypes of the isolation cage I made. I think they are alright but they are just too much work to make, especially when I need so many. I've given up on them after making just a few, then I made the current one. It might have been easier if I had a 3D printer and the skills to work with it.

I have lost 2 glass anemone shrimps in confinement. I couldn't confirm if they are dead or not. They simply vanished. They may have escaped the cell somehow or moved to the next cell and got eaten by the cellmate or got eaten by the peppermint shrimp sticking its legs in from outside or something. I don't know.
The rest are growing well. They are molting and getting larger. The small space doesn't seem to hinder their growth.
