Hi snr,

Anyone can advise why healthy fish missing one after another, I suspected Crabs and started to trap them. So far caught a few small hairy crab not bigger than 1/2 inch. However still have fish missing. First is my 1" Blue Tang, Next was my 2" Flame Angel. And another 3 smaller fishes. All eating and very healthy fishes. No trace of their remain etc....I suspect some BIG hitchhiker

Yesterday, I took out every pcs of LF and dip into Fresh Water, again manage to catch 3 small hairy crab. I hope that the end of my era. Pray hard....

Or anyone have similar experience and can share your removal method....thks

regards

No....that why I have no clue. Even my 4inch Clam was tear apart left only on side which I believe will not survive as well. I did a fresh water dip for everything in the tank to get rid of all the hitchhikers. but like I mentioned only a few miserable small hairy crab which is less than 1/2 inches. My Flame is 2.5 inch and I don't think the small crab are the culprit. No remain nothing at all when I take down my whole tank. Septicle to buy any more fish....Sian.

Anyway, thanks for all the advise.

Reefing is sharing. People with rotten mouth is sure a loser for life as expected. When a tomato gets rotten, you can nvr save it.. Throw it away before it infect the good ones.

I have a very big and healthy Naso. Yesterday saw him hiding behind rocks. I find his action is weird as he is so listless. Than I tried to make him out to the open space and I saw a ISOPODs on his body :angry: I quickly caught him and remove the pods and put him in a separate tank. Hope he recover.

My experience is that fish disappeared may not be due to Mantis or crabs. It may die to ISOPODs which weaken the immunity and caused other virus to kill them. Then the clean up crew will eat them up.

Hope my sharing will gove some ideas that pods do kill fish as well

Could be when u bought it, its already in the fish gill. Hope fully thats the only one.

Caught this fellow in my mushroom rock during qt.. and operation on rock. This is the reason why i dont keep rocks in tank unless no choice. I normally break the rocks n glue the corals on a small rock.
