On saturday, I added 2cleaner shrimp, 1 fire/blood/scarlet (depending on which common name you use), and 2 peppermint shrimp (let the aiptasia battle begin!). On sunday, one of the cleaners had molted, and both where out exploring. Today, one was dead. I don't know if it was the one that molted on sun, if it was, could've the move/molting been enough stress to kill it, or is it something else? The other shrimps seem fine (difficult to locate, but I know they're nocturnal, and have seen the 2 pepps and the fire in caves during daylight, the other cleaner is out perched on a flat piece of rock). Any ideas????????

MOST LIKELY IT WAS AN ACCLIMATION DEATH. THEY HAVE FAIRLY SENSATIVE VASCULAR STRUCTURES LIKE MOST MARINE ORGANISMS. ANOTHER IDEA IS THAT HOLING DISPUTES OCCURED. WHILE FINDING NEW AREAS TO LIVE (THEY WERE ALL ADDED IN THE SAME DAY?)THERE WAS PROBABLY A "DISPUTE". SOORY ABOUT THE LOSS.
