this hobby is not cheap
Possible, but are you sure it wasn't a molt? They hide for a while afterwards until their shell hardens.
where would it go i look everywhere its not like i have a huge tank i only have a 29 gallon bio cubeI'd wait a few days to make sure it doesn't reappear.
lol well i will keep looking but i dont think he in thereI've lost my knife in my pocket n its only quart size. Tanks have hiding places u will never find.
........... we cut living things into pieces. sheez
It might not re-appear, but after molting they are vulnerable, so they hide. It wouldn't be easy for the anemone to "catch" the shrimp, the shrimp knows better, not impossible just not easy. That's why I'm in agreement with the octoman that it might be a molt. Also, something to hope for
Ain't that the truth.

You don't need to necessarily look for the molt. They were just suggesting that the anemone may have eaten the molt instead of the actual shrimp.
Meanwhile anemones can and will eat anything they can catch. Most shrimp are smart enough to escape quick enough, but it is certainly possible yours didn't get away quickly enough. Keep an eye out for the shrimp. I have had them turn up weeks after I thought they were dead.
