Red Snapping Shrimp (Alpheus armatus) killing fish/inverts

[Wtyson254]

I think my red snapping shrimp is attacking my fish/inverts at night, I have had 2 fish and a large red cleaner shrimp go missing over the last month, with increased snapping at
Night. Thoughts?

I just do not see a Red Snapping Shrimp taking out healthy fish. A molting shrimp would be at risk perhaps.

I agree that it would seem odd for a red snapping shrimp to be the cause of the disappearances -- particularly the fish.

What fish went missing? Did they go missing or did you find them dead? What other livestock is in the tank?

Red firefish and radial filefish

Were otherwise healthy, then just disappeared
