    so i check my lion and his fins are all ripped up and torn.
    it wasnt like that this morning.
    all i have is a yellow watchman goby, pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, hermits and snail.
    could it be one of the inhabitants?

    Possibly, My gut would say the hermits. but I dunno. Every time I see them at our local petco, they always have a fish in their mouth :lol:

    Oh on another note, there could be a bacteria in your tank causing fin rot... Just throwing it out there.

    I don't like to point fingers but my guess is the pistol. Has it ever shown any interest in the other inhabitants?
