Missing fish

[Kevnjeep]

So since I started my tank I keep loosing small fish. I've never had this issue before my new tank 1.5 years old. Now my yellow tang looks like something has bee. Eating its fins. My black ice clown, cromis, 2 purple fire fish and yellow wrasse all are very healthy. And have been in my tank since the first few months and never had an issue. Due to the yellow tang fin issue I need to find the culprit.

 

The fish I stated above

2 cleaner wrasse

2 peppermint shrimp

Snails

 

Thats all that I "have" in my tank. I brought all the live rock from my old tank. So if something came in it would have been on a Coral. I've looked at night, during the day, lights on, lights off and still don't see anything and its only a 120 gallon tank. Anyone have any ideas on how to find this sucker before I loose more money and fish

O and no I don't hear a clicking on the glass ever so I guess mantis is out of the question

[zygote2k]

mantis shrimp don't 'click' on the glass.

What about a gorilla crab. I had one long ago that killed a bunch of little fish. Nasty litter sucker.

I thought they punch stuff

If that's the case how can I get it out

[Kevnjeep]

Or find it

It's really hard. I was lucky enough to find mine and speard it. U could set a soda bottle trap at night with a silverside or two and hope he takes the bait

Pint glass diagonally in the sand with food in the bottom. They can climb in, but not out.

But make sure you use a Guinness pint glass

Lol. My shrimp would devour it before the crab even smelt it

[Kevnjeep]

Does the bottle work

[epleeds]

It should. As long as the crab can fit inside the hole
