Yesterday, both of my large (4" body) skunk cleaners were int he tank. I was feeding mysis to my anenomes and noticed that one of the shrimp was hopping in and out of one of my large GBTA to steal morsels of mysis.

Last night, before I turned in, and now this morning, I noticed that there was only one shrimp I could find in the tank. Could the GBTA have eaten the other one as he was stealing shrimp?

he might have molted and be hiding.  My shrimp used to steal out of the anemone all the time and never got eaten.
Was that in there yesterday? Casper--WY windier than ?

Down to a 20, soon to double or nothing

one of them molted earlier in the week, if it was the missing one, that is why i was more worried...what if his shell was not fully hardened yet, would he be more susceptible to being eaten?

When they molt they will disappear until thier shell is hardened--I've had tanks where I swear I knew every nook and cranny and the shrimp would still hide somewhere I couldn't see or find it for up to a week.  If you don't see it in a week or so it might have died/gotten eaten but I still doubt it was the anemone.
