Peppermint Shrimp missing

[TimReef]

So it's been 2 weeks and I haven't found Bubba or seen him at all!

Bubba is the peppermint shrimp I have bought 4 weeks ago.

Any idea where he can be in the tank or do you think he kicked the bucket?

Might be hiding, have you checked to see if he is out at night with a flashlight? I had this happen but he was just hiding in the day. Hope that helps and good luck finding him!!!

hah! I had one do that too, shes a mean sob.
My experience, hiding after shedding is usually 3-4 days max. All the shrimp Ive ever had like to hang upside down on the rock ledges until feeding time.

I only see mine every 3 or 4 months and only an hour or more after total darkness. Now someone may have well made a snack of him but it's normal for them to only come out at night too.

I agree. Could be molting. Mine stay out of site during this time.
