Can clownfish kill coral?

[daniella3d]

no, I don't think so. your clownfish probably dies and the cleaning crew ate it.

My clownfish went into the frogspawn and decided it was not a pleasant experience and did not return but it was fine.

I even doubt a torch can sawllow a whole fish.

Nope, no cleanup crew in that tank. If you saw the size of the torch you might think again.

I am surprised. Did you actually saw the fish get into the coral mouth and being sawllow whole?

My torch have such a small mouth.

My torch have such a small mouth.

Like I said, I couldn't find the body anywhere. Not dried up on the floor or anywhere else. The torch is the only other place it could have gone. When it's happy I've seen it swell to about the size of a baseball and I've fed it chunks of shrimp the same size as the missing clown.
