Yes the dragon wrasse is in the fowlr. The missing fish are from the reef. Something in there is murdering my fish. They have all been fine in my reef for the last year or so. Side note, my firefish must have decided to "sleep in." Couldn't find him this morning and he wasn't in his home when I looked. But 2 fish in a month plus one fireshrimp and one cleaner also MIA tells me that something unfriendly is in there. Just wanna know if I transferred rock to my triggers if they would take care of whatever it may be?

That depends on what it is.
You might want to try trapping it. Mantis Shrimp and larger predatory crabs can both be trapped.

Well...my opinion is that it is unlikely that your fish are being killed by a crab or mantis. Probably just a run of bad luck or something not optimum about the tank.

How long have you had these fish? (The one's that didn't make it)

I had the lawnmower for about 1 1/2 years and the dragonet was about 1 yr. Got it super skinny and it was thriving in my tank. Getting very fat. I have a huge pod population. They were both very healthy. Reason why I think someting is preying on them is that I've been hearing a clicking sound lately and louder then hermit or snail shells on the glass. 3-4 clicks, pause, 3-4 more. Seems to be the back of the tank where it comes from and I cannot really see back there as I have a fair bit of rock in there. All water peramiters are within reason. Regular water changes. But like I said I'm still kinda new to the hobby so I'm open to suggestions and input. I've also been thinking of aquascaping both tanks again so thats why I ask if my predators will take care of a murderous crab or shrimp.
