Maybe but usually not. Ghost shrimp could eat the platies though and will probably eat any fry so watch out!

I don't think a single ghost shrimp could take down and kill a healthy adult platy.

I have ghost shrimp in with mollies, neon tetras, and guppies. They have never bothered each other. I also have a ton of fry of different sizes and they are okay. However, make sure you feed them enough. I didn't up the feeding to account for all the new mouths and by the time I realized I need to feed more, most of my shrimp were gone. All my blue pearls and baby ghost shrimp were evidently eating. I also saw my two largest girls chasing small fry and trying to eat them. I greatly increased the food and my ghosties are making a come back.
