    The engineer goby did it :) I just posted to some earlier that has on and told them to kiss their shrimp by then the hermits then snails in that order . And as it grows the rest of your shrimp will become MIA That goby will hit upwards of 13 to 18 " they will out grow a system unlike most all other fish .

    Well, that being said I'll never buy an engineer goby.

    Well I have a cleaner shrimp in that tank and it has never been bothered by him. :S it's been there for like 4 months already.. The shrimp I added were gone in less than a day.

    It may also be worth mentioning that my goby never leaves it's burrow for more than 2 inches unless I feed and hides to the slightest movement. I really doubt he did it.
