Started out with 3 peppermint shrimp in October. A few months went by and 1 went Missing. Today I noticed there is only 1.

livestock:
2 Blennies
1 Sandsifting goby
1 Hippo
1 yellow tang
2 Chromis
1 Clown
1 female Melanurus wrasse 2” big just got her a month ago still a juvenile


inverts:
4 Emerald crab
1 Purple Reef Lobster (only comes out at night
Dozens of hermit crabs

I am leaning towards the purple reef lobster? And there are no signs of scales, left over parts from the Shrimp. Just completely vanished. I checked sump and overflow nothing

Magnesium is on low side
 
Lobster is a safe bet but sometimes things just don't make it.
 
I had a pistol shrimp and 3 emeralds never to be seen again. Pretty sure the pistol choked on the 3 emeralds in his lair somewhere. Also had a damsel that's still on a milk carton.

reef lobster looks pretty savage I don’t want to cross him off the list
