Fire Shrimp (killer?)

[SSalty]

I bought a fire shrimp and a few days later my cleaner shrimp wound up dead. I am not sure if the fire shrimp killed him or if he was stressed out because there was a new shrimp in the tank. Right after I added the fire shrimp, my cleaner shrimp became real shy, he wouldn't come out for his food like he use to, and was very inactive.

Any insight is appreciated.

Are you sure he is dead and it isn't a molt?

Yup, he's dead. My cleanup crew is finishing him off including the fire shrimp.

The fires can attack and kill cleaners, but they usually don't IME.
