Quick question: do Peppermint Shrimp eat copepods?

I have set up a 6gal refugium, and has been going well. I’d begun to culture up my own copepods to aid a friends voracious Mandarin, and all was well. 3 days ago I discovered a small Peppermint Shrimp in the ‘fuge, and can only guessed that he hitched a ride in (which totally amazes me). I did not have time to try to catch him, and left him alone for the last few days. Yesterday I notice not a single copepod anywhere in the refugium. I’m hoping that they were not gobbled! BTW: 2 Catalina Goby fry are doing well! One of the parents mysteriously passed, but my other 2 seem to be doing just fine!
