Params are all fine, I saw him picking at some zoas last night, and walking all over, as well as maybe stuffing a piece on his mouth. Would this be a potential cause?

here's a crazy question, but are you sure it's dead and it's not just the molten skeleton?

It was my wife who called me from home. I asked her the same thing. It quite possibly could be. I will have to check when I am home.

Shrimps don't live terribly long in general. I think I've read 2 or 3 years most of the time. So if it was larger maybe it was getting there. But yeah possibly just a molt. Sometimes fish will pick on them any wrasses ?
