I am wondering what you think the likelihood of my fairly large fuzzy mushroom is of eating my 2 peppermint shrimp is? I bought them a week ago and they adjusted quite well. They were eating and motoring all over the tank. My water parameters are all normal, ( I check them once a week the day after my weekly WC). I believe my tests because my pagota cup which is my most sensitive coral is full open and looking good as are all the tank inhabitants. None of my 4 fish are predatory, a small clown, a pair of lyretail anthias and a purple firefish. I have a cleaner shrimp which I bought at the same time as the peppermints and it looks fine but it stays on the opposite side of the tank from the mushroom. My tank is fairly open and I've used a flashlight in every nook and cranny which was not necessary at feeding time because those 2 peppermints came running. There are no bodies so I can't come up with any other theory as to what happened to them. If it was the fuzzy mushroom, then I'm worried about the cleaner shrimp too. What do you think?
 
Good news, I saw one of the peppermint shrimp last night after the lights went out. They are both probably fine. I saw a molt skin so that's probably why they are hiding.
