Any clean up crew? Crabs? They will go for a fish after it has deceased.

I'd pin the fact that you only have half the body on the clowns or any existing clean up crew. Chances are the fish died, was picked at by the clowns etc. Just because the tang was bigger doesn't mean that it is the culprit

I agree that it's unlikely the culprit is the tang. I also have a YT and a LB and there's never been an issue. The only flak the LB gets is from my Maroon Clown pair and that's only if he gets too close the their territory. Blue Devil Damsel also took a few runs at him after I put him in the tank, but he's grown since then and put the Blue Devil in his place. This is my 3rd LB by the way. First one sucked into powerhead intake, second carpet surfed so hopefully three's a charm. So far so good. Also agree that it's likely critters from the rock that scavenged the carcass. Hard to tell what initially caused his demise, but again, I doubt it was the tang.
