Dead BFly

[Pan]

There should be a peircing...even if ever so slight , there should be a little hole of some sort. If there is no puncture wound at all i would rule out the foxface. It happened to a couple of tangs of mine...a scopas and a yellow. they had an obvious though slight puncture wound, not just a sore.

My question is, could she have run into the foxface? They seemed to like each other so it would have been an accident.

The other occupants are a saddleback clownfish, two cleaner shrimp, urchin, starfish, various baby bta's, etc.
