Normally I'd say the shrimp is molting and retreated to a dark spot for a few days.

Are you 100% sure they are a true mated pair? They are aggressive towards members of their own species, if you tore up the tank and didn't see any trace it probably was eaten by the other coral banded.

i second that! i have a mated pair in my tank as well and the male and/or female will randomly disappear for a day or 2 or 3 at a time. next thing i know it they'll show up!
