Very, very true. We had a situation similar to yours, where we had 14 ghost shrimp all die overnight. Never did figure out why. Luckily they're only .33 each!

I'll have to look that up.
Like I said, he was hiding in the caves and rocks for a couple days. It wasn't until I got him in quarantine that I was able to give him a good look-over. The lesions may have appeared before I recognized them.
