A few hours after this post last sunday I saw the pencil wrasse briefly and I saw my blue line trigger going after it It dove into the sand really fast and I didn't see it after that. I was really upset with myself for not being able to catch it earlier. Well I finally saw it again today and I guess my Trigger did manage to get it because when I saw my poor pencil wrasse, his whole tail and part of the back end of his body was missing

I caught him and put him in my 34g for now. He looks awful and it seems unlikely he'll make it On the plus side though I knew he hadn't eaten for week so I put some mysis in the tank and he ate it. I feel horrible for him as he keeps trying to bury himself in the sand but without his tail he doesn't seem to be able to Wish I had a crystal ball to see if he'll make it or not.
