Cleaner Shrimp turned white then died?

[falconut]

I had a cleaner shrimp for about 4 months. It was doing fine until one day until the insides of it's tail turned pure white. It wasn't see through anymore. Then two days later it died. I just found it'sentire body on the sand. No, it didn't shed. Has anybody had this happen to their cleaners before?

I also lost my anemone crab (white w/purple spots) about 4 days earlier. It was also just laying on the sand too. This I had for about 8 months.

Any ideas on why it turned white?

what are your paramaters looking like? Do you have any other inverts in the tank, if so how are they doing?

Living shrimp have clear or translucent flesh. As they die it turns white. That's normal. As to why it died I haven't a clue.

I still have a Coral Banded Shrimp and he's still doing fine.

Maybe it was just their time.
