Hey Anthony, I just read yourarticle on Starfish wich got me thinking, did my starfish eat my cleaner shrimp? The other day I could not find my cleaner shrimp of 2 years anywhere. I have a 46G tank so I can see all areas in the live rock so I know it is not hiding during a molt period. There is absolutly no trace of it, no remains nothing. I checked my skimmer, filters, powerheads, the floor around the tank, nothing! The last time I target fed the my Ophiuroid-Serpent Star was when I gave it the molted shell of my cleaner shrimp which it snatched up. Is it possible for a serpant star to eat a cleaner shrimp.

Yes, it's very possible that's what happened.
