I put about a half dozen ghost shrimp in my fifty five. After a couple of weeks they became opaque white stuggish and now they are all snail droppings.

Water is
GH 3
KH 7
PH 7-8
All the bad stuff 0
I dose to keep
phosphate 1. ppm
Nitrate 5.-10 ppm
Potasium
And I dose with Flourish as well
 
Are you sure what you saw wasn't just the molting? The other day I thought one of my amano shrimp had bit the dust but it was just his empty shell.

If they were molting then they will hide until a new hard shell is formed. Or else during molting they were eaten. That happens as well.
