![]() Woke up this morning to find my flame hawkfish completely mangled up and my royal gramma is missing. I have a couple fairly large hermits so I think they may have gotten a hold of Marvin (flame hawk). He was fine yesterday.....Not sure about the RG.....
So frustrating. Everyone else is fine. ![]() ![]() ![]()

![]() I had my first death in tank yesterday - a yellow tang. He was bullied to death I guess after introduction. He was in the corner for a few days, as where I found him.
I'm also missing my second banana wrasse, the first one jumped out a few weeks ago, now I can't find the other one! :| Sorry to hear, Coralgurl! |

I hate losing fish and I have no idea why or what happened. I'm hoping the RG and clown were just not quite awake yet, but it was a late start to the morning...... will take a look at things tonight when I get home. I had a red crab at one point that I wasn't able to identify. I'm pretty sure he stayed in my 55 gl tank as there appeared to be recent moltings left in that tank when I sold the rock. I have not seen another crab since, most of the rock in my tank sat dry until I got it up and running. I did add a few additional pieces that came from other reefers. So weird.....

Alternatively, you can be experiencing a cycle. You should check your parameters. Alternatively, you may have had a temperature spike. It is doubtful that anything in your tank attacked, killed and ate two fish and killed and partially ate the other in one evening. |

![]() My experience is crabs will eat dead fish or injured not moving fish.
The only other inverts fast enough to catch fish is mantis. If you haven't added any new livestock recently then it's possible that they didn't die from a disease. It is really weird that the fish would just die overnight tho... And if your other fish are Mia that's even more unexplainable. I have had fish for a year or 2 then slowly get more and mood skinny almost anorexic then eventually die. Recently I bought a few new fish and mysteriously they stopped then 2 days later dead. Only the new fish passed while the rest are completely fine. Sorry for your losses!

How would I check for a mantis? I had a Scott's wrasse that had a pretty messed up side, thought he scrapped himself on the rocks. I was going to catch him and put him in my sump, but he died before I could get at him. Would it be possible for a mantis to go so long without detection?

![]() I highly doubt your hermits did this.
Sometimes crap happens that can kill fish. I don't know your system or your habits, but it's usually tank owner caused. Hate to say missing = dead 99.9% of the time. Better test your water. Do a water change.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds. ![]() |
