    you definantly don't have a tank for fire fish to be safe. for such a lil weak brightly colored fish any three of them could have killed them. the maroon(my bet its dominant, had one in a 90 was the boss of every damsel in their and their were alot), the damsel, and the coral banded shrimp(these guys hunt not just bully). the wrasse prolly had all three where it down if it was 1 1/2 inches which i think you meant and not 1/12 inch

    I have a Yellowtail damsel.. It was the only fish ... I saw him attack a Blue green Chromis. Not saying its the Damsel, but could be. He never leaves his side of the tank. I think he killed one of the Chromis.

    I have a maroon and he chases anything that gets within 6" of him. I also have a blue devil damsel in the same tank, so I have 2 very territorial fish there. It may have been both fish for all we know. Both are notorious for being angry biters.
