    I had to work late yesterday and came home and 3 fish and one cleaner shrimp are missing. I checked around the floor and no luck. The fish were a Clown, purple firefish and regal tang. The only thing in my tank is 70# or so of live rock,coral,algae blenny, another clown and a reefcleaners cleanup crew. What is going on, please help ! :-X

    maybe hiding or maybe dead. some times my fish hide for no reason (in my mind) but maybe something scared them good. If dead then maybe somthing ate them. hope you find out soon. good luck

    Also they were all healthy looking in the morning and I moved the rocks around last night no such luck. Also my water tests perfect.

    Have you seen any brittle or serpent starfish. I believe theres a brittle starfish that traps prey; think its the green one. I could be wrong though
