    Do you have a starfish in the tank? He may have tried to grab the sixline in the night.

    Bingo! What's my prize Bob? :)

    But seriously, this is your answer. Serpent are know to do exactly this. There have been other threads with the same question as yours, with pictures showing exactly what you just described. There's not much you can do about it unless you remove the starfish. Also, now that he found the wrasse, he probably knows how/where to find him again. If he's very small he may not be big enough to eat him... yet.

    Good luck.

    Can you still post a picture, please? I'm interested in seeing what that spot looks like.
