clean up crew...move out!

[squintin]

so for reasons unknown to me, my clown decided to plop dead on me today even though nothing picks at it and it gets fed plenty. very strange and a little disheartening especially when its buddy is doing just fine. clean up crew looks mighty happy though!

Sorry about your loss, but excellent photos!

[Coral Hind]

Very cool photos of nature at work.

That sucks! Well, guess thats nature at its finest and least you didnt have to get your hands wet.

Too bad the "eating" POTM competition is over!!

[squintin]

i was thinking that too when i was photographing this. there was no way i was beating that lionfish picture though!

Looks like your star is getting a little stingy. Not sharing = not cool!

[rioreef]

When that star is finish it will be just bones.

[squintin]

yea...an hour after taking the pictures all the shrimp and crabs were off doing their own thing while the star was hidden in its cave, clownfish body unseen. stingy indeed!

[dbartco]

:(

[squintin]

hmm...

 

so apparently now everyone's doing their own thing and i see no bones or corpse in sight. is that normal? just don't want the nitrates to suddenly spike but i really can't find any sort of body like...anywhere...

[Chad]

With all that clean up crew action, I dont think you will see a spike so I wouldnt be worried.

I am not a starfish-ologist, but, with a fish that size, if he did get his guts around it, might not see any bones for a few days. Thats a pretty big meal to digest.
