So this morning, my cleaner shrimp was doing great.  He was eating and pretty active.  At about noon, I did not "Nano A & B" dosing (I have a 28 G Nano) and now at 3:45 I find him dead by my urchin and Flame Scallop. I know that these two "suspects" are not usually predatory but it there a chance that something may have killed him?  I have had him for a year and he has seemed healthy this whole time.

RIP...
Mike

Mike, That is him.  I watched him slowly stop moving until he was just dead.  I wonder if it was the dosing that did it?

He could have been chemically burned by the Alkalinity dosing.
