About 2 weeks ago i bought 2 harlequin shrimp.
Well they took a huge sandsifter star with them to the back of my tank were i couldnt see them. Today one of the harlequin's have come out and it huge! but idk what happened to the other one? could it have died? maybe is it still hiding? Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephen

They tend to be very shy...

Probably still hiding. Only one of mine would come out at a time.

The big one is the girl the little one is the boy in a mated pair. My female would always stay in the cave and make the male go get the starfish...lol. She'd watch him but never actually helped. She was 'supervising'...lol! So yours may still be back there. Mine ate a big choc chip star about every 10 days. If the star is gone, go ahead and add another one.
