I put a purple lobster in the tank and it dissappeared. Thought for sure the
brittl star ate it because it was pretty small. Then I saw the shell on the
bottom ant thought "crap, it died". then last week there was another shell,
lrager this time, from the second time it molted. I still haven't seen the
damn thing. Even sitting in the room all dark with the moon lights on in the
tank. Time to get a flashlight I guess.

I'd written off my Peppermint shrimps as it is well over two months
since I last saw them - then Friday morning I found a cast - one of the
darn things had moulted so must still be in there somewhere.....some
night viewing of the tank may indeed be in order - apparently a torch
with a red filter over the light is supposed to be good for viewing the
nocturnal stuff but haven't tried it myself yet
