Honestly I don't think it would be you're shrimp eating it.

My ricordea was fine for 3 months, i put the shrimp in on last sunday and it is now gone. Yesterday it was  closing up like something was bothering it and when I woke up this morning it was gone .

just returned from fragfest and was told they might be camel shrimp. My zoas are partially closed also.

here are a comparison from a couple of pics off the web

I believe you have perppmints.. not camels....

Peps are clearish... camels have a definite white color on them.

 

[pulpfiction1]

im inclined to agree

 

[reeffreak]

After some reading it could the shrimp that's eating it. 1 in a million I guess.

I have 1 of them in my sump will continue to monitor the situation. Enjoyed the fragfest picked up a nice hammer coral from Poseidons Reef some zoos from theFragtank and Favias as well as acans from Fragalot.

Iafter lights out I captured this tiny snail looking creature. Is this a parasite or could one of my nassarius snails have broken loose and regrow a shell. I did find an empty shell about a week ago.

After more research it appears to be a stomatella snail. Must have hitchkiked in. Can someone conform this?

 

[Poseidon]

yup thats a stomatella snail, great for the tank, and reproduce rather quickly

Yup, love them, tons out at night, mostly all hide through the day. Do a great job at keeping things clean in my tank. I have too many to count...over 100 at least in my 120.
