Once was four now is one

I had four Peppermint Shrimp about a month ago now I only have one left. I was reading one day that Coral Banded Shrimp are known for attacking and eating Peppermint Shrimp. I'm not sure if the CBS is the culprit. Was just wondering if anyone here has had the same issue?

I have a friend that worked in a LFS in Knoxville and before he knew any better he dumped a shipment of coral banded shrimp and peppermint shrimp in the same tank. When he came in the next morning,There were less than half of the CBS and 0 peppermints so I would say it's your coral banded.

Yep, CBS are definitely known for eating other shrimp. I've never owned one because of this. :)
