Well one of my first tank members died last night. He was in the tank for about 4 months but never really was all that interesting so I'm over it. :) Just was sorta curious if anyone might have an explination..i've listed the parameters below. Oddly enough I added a skunk cleaner about 2 weeks ago that was almost twice his size and from what i could tell they never had a run. My understanding was that the Coral Banded wouldn't tolerate other shrimp, so I thought it was kinda strange. Anyway I'd still like to have to shrimp can someone suggest something else? Sexy Shrimp perhaps? Would like somthing more active like my skunk shirmp thats visually interesting.

Seems to me like you don't have enough live rock, and your nitrates are a little high. Not sure if that would have killed your coral banded or not, but am sure someone here will be of help.
