so the other day i bought a half inch maybe a lil bigger sexy shrimp, and he had his own tiny RBTA. and nothing really even bothered him or maybe they just didnt know he was on my finger when i placed him in... but the next morning when i woke up he was gone, been 2 days and no sign of him.. but today i noticed my sixlined harassing my cleaner very aggressively and has continues to do so as im posting this... so im wondering could he have eaten the sexy shrimp, has anyone else had this problem?

clown (1 1/2") sixlined (2") randalls goby (1") cleaner shrimp (1") sexy shrimp (1/2")...
 
I think it's very probable. Six lines can be very agressive in my experience.
 
Yep, sixlines can be real jerks sometimes. I have one with my oc. clown in my 29 and will probably never add another fish since they will prolly beat the tar out of any newcomer, they do get along with each other though:)
 
yea before when i had my flame hawk in the tank he used to be a scared lil fish, now he is getting very mean.. might have to place him in my brothers tank where the fish dont play that mess, to get his mind right. lol
 
i think that it is your sixline wrasse. i know mine is very aggressive and will fight and chase my flame angle
 
+1 to above, six lines can develop quite a bad attitude! Could very well be the culprit.
 
yea he has chased around my clown, but my lil goby does not tolerate anyone.. lol but im trying to catch him now with some blood worms in a plastic bottle trap, no luck so far..
