Posted this up on R2R but figured I'd also query our more local experts....
I seem to be losing newly added tank inhabitants. In the last month it's been two Anthias, one Splendid Dottyback (actually not really new), and a Dragonette Blenny. No bodies, just gone....
And then this morning I find my Red Breasted Anthias dead laying next to one of the anemones. Looks fine except he has a hole drilled under one gill (postmortem?)
65G Display w/ 40G remote sump, water parameters are good and no observed aggression. Pretty peaceful tank unless someone ventures too close to the Clown's anemones or the Shrimp's cave.
The remaining tank inhabitants are:
3 Anemones (3 -4 in)
1 Lawnmower Blenny (2in)
2 Oscellaris Clowns (2in)
1 Christmas Wrasse (1 in)
1 Bi-color Dwarf Angel (2 in)
1 Longnose Hawk (2 in)
1 Japanese Pistol Shrimp (2.5 in)
1 Pincushion Urchin
2 Green Emerald Crabs
1 Strawberry Crab
3 Red Hermit Crabs
1 Black Brittle Star (10 in)
Any guesses at the culprit? (at this point I'm thinking the JPS).....
