OK, over the last 2 months i've lost 2 fire shrimp and 1 skunk shrimp, I have no clue what keeps killing them! I have no eels or shrimp eating fish, and my water quality is zeroed out, salinity and calcium is perfect and I feed the shrimp and the hermits even so they cant be starving to death. But I cant for the life of me figure out why I keep loosing shrimp! And I keep finding them at the back of the tank or in the rock pile dead. Plz help what is killing my shrimp!

Not recently I had been adding a small amount of calcium to off set coral growth, but i had been doing that for the last 4 months and my calcium never goes outside of the rang of (410-460). But nothing has really changed in the tank other than i added a sail fin and fox face in the last 2 months and I upgraded my lighting to 2 250w halides but that shouldn't effect the shrimp. I have 2 Hawaiian anenomies but all of the shrimp died no were near them.

Are you sure they are dead. I have a couple of peps in my tank that I never seen except once in a blue moon. I find shells which almost look like a dead shrimp. Just a thought. Are you having losses in any other inverts.

Lol, it's happened to me, they were just molting. Have you checked wetwebmedia.com?, there's three pages of info with your same problem.
