I Couldnt believe it!

I got up this morning and was looking at my tank and saw a long white piece sticking out of the hammer, i thought it was a piece of plastic...from the w/c I did last nite....so i went to have my 1st cup of coffee and I was just waking up and thinking about it then I thought....Hey that kinda looked like an antannae from my cleaner shrimp! I went to go pull it out of the hammer and sure enought there was pieces of the shrimp still attached....most of it was gone.....I started trying to think (still on my 1st cup of coffe :P ) and I thought maybe the hammer just ate a molt....so I looked all over for Pepe (my cleaners name) and Pepe was NO wheres to be found

The upside of this all is that my hammer was almost twice as big
