CoralCrazy Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I had a saddleback clown wipe out $500 worth of fish last month. Thought about the shrimp idea and then removed her and no more fish disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberduck9 Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I have seen A Eunicid worm systematicly wipe out a whole school of fish before. Very good preditor defence! A good way to catch them is by removing each rock piece by piece and letting it sit out of the water for awhile. Not enough for it to dry out completely but eventually any worm in there will start to come out to find more water. If you dont see anything after 5-10 mins and after inspecting the rock carefully, put it in your sump till you find the culprit. Keep an eye out for your Gobys and Wrasse though. They might have witnessed the carnage and be hiding out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
