Ever caught your shrimp eating Zoas?

Have you ever caught your Skunk cleaner or Blood Red Fire Shrimp eating your Zoanthids?My small colony of blue Zoas and some Fiji Zoas have disappeared.I can't think of any other possible culprits and have not added any new additions lately.

I have heard of fire shrimp possibly being aggressive towards corals.

yes BUT zoos have a HIGHLY toxic posion in their slime. no creature woud eat a zoo. and even if it did it would surely die. is it possible that you zoos blew over?

No,they were/are established colonies.Each day,for the last 4 days,I have looked at the tank first thing and noticed some missing.I will try looking in with a flashlight late tonight when all the lights are out.
