    Well the good news is the peppermint shrimp got the bumble bee before it ate more of your live sand. (Well not the sand but the microfauna that makes it live). But peppermint shrimp like most shrimp are opportunistic eaters and if not kept well fed and happy they will attack for food if they need to...or if they are hungry. Them and skunk cleaner shrimp tear up stomatellas if not well fed.
