Snappy, do you have a cleaner wrasse ? Mine went bizerk after 8 months. I lost 5 clams ,some I had for 2 1/2 years. The wrasse started picking on one clam causing it to spawn which got another clam going this in turn interested my flame angel. The angel thought it was great and would fight the other fish to be first in line for this treat.The angel killed a firefish ,Yasha goby and Sunrise Anthias in other words the more timid fish. I came home from work to see this going on . If I had come home a couple hours later I might have not seen any of this.My tank water became milky but the skimmer took care of it in a couple hours or so. All the clams died one by one even after moving a couple of them to another tank. I think they died from the stress of the spawn and milky water. The firefish had about a 3/8 gash in his side and the fin ripped off . Previous to this the Flame angel never showed any aggression and was scared of the much smaller Coral Beauty,keeping his distance. So no more cleaner wrasses for me. A $10 fish and a $600 lesson.
