My exquisitely beautiful male flame wrasse ate both of my Harlequin Shrimp. The female shrimp went missing and I figured she was either molting or giving birth but after a few days I became worried. Come yesterday during the molt of my male shrimp I spied with my little eye my flame wrasses tearing him a new one. Needless to say I'm extremely heartbroken and I'd like to replace my shrimp, but I'm wondering will the savageness continue?

once they develop the taste yeah... I have a flame wrasse pair with two Harlequin shrimps and they seem to not care for them. Had them together for 2 month now.
