mourning for my cleaner shrimp

i woke up this morning and discover my cleaner shrimp in the jaws of my coral banded shrimp. my cleaner was doing just fine last night eating and recently molted. my coral banded is pretty peaceful...i wonder what happened...:dunno:
 
What happened was that your coral banded is acting like a coral banded ... they're almost always peaceful at first but it changes eventually. You're better off getting him out of your tank before it starts going after your fish too.

I'm really sorry to hear about your other shrimp though, that sucks.
 
My cleaner shrimp has gotten pretty big and likes to try and pounce on my fish. I'm wondering if I should trade him out.
 
My cleaner never tries to jump on anything, he always waits for the fish to come to him, then he climbs aboard and cleans away!
