Its possible, especially if you have seen the shrimp pick off your other Lettuce Nudis. I had purchased a large Lettuce Nudi, but it disappeared one day (didn't find it anywhere), then all these babies showed up. I ended up with 3 babies surviving over time and growing to a decent size.....now I'm down to one. I had one get sucked into the closed loop intake, another wound up in the sump - in the skimmer - and dried out on the sponge covering the skimmer's output (Euro-reef), I just saw the 3rd one today crawling on the rock. Do you have sufficient food source for the lettuce slugs? Does the peppermint shrimp get any left over morsels after the fish are fed (i.e. does it eat)?
