    Well after the first go around I wanted to get another fire shrimp.  I figured the first time somehow he get sucked up in the the Nano K pump, but now this mourning I woke up to fire shrimp number to, in complete carnage in my tank.  I have a clown,goby,wrasse and crab.  Any of these have the potential to just tear a huge fire shrimp up.

    Yea just a 6 Line wrasse. You think the anemone would shred it to pieces.

    Watchman, that's the fish I was worried about tearing him up, but I also heard emerald crabs would too.

    I would bet on the crab.

    I've got 2 fire shrimp, 2 peperment shrimp, and 1 cleaner shrimp. with a 3 to 4 inch red coris wrasse and 19 other fish. So far the red coris is being good but he is turning over coral so I need to get him out.

    Agreed, the crab is most likely the culprit : )
