Firefish tail broken/torn...

[ervine]

Hi guys,

I have a few firefishes in my tank and I noticed that 1 or 2 (not sure coz they hardly ever come out at the same time) have broken/torn tails..

Any idea what's wrong? All the other fishes look fine... could it just be bullying?

Thanks!

its definitely bullying

i used to haf 2 firefishes....b4 i put them in my reef tank, they were with my damsels and the damsel occassionally will bite them

also, firefishes at nite r known to stay in the same place which means even wen crabs nimble on them...they wun move

so its either bullying or crabs but i place my bets on bullying

wat aggressive fishes do u haf in yr tank?

Agressive ah.. hm..

Got one old false clown (but he only bothers the lawnmower blenny)

Other firefishes

One pseudo chromis (but also seems to live in a world of it's own)

Lawnmower (only bothers the clown)

Yup that's all I have.. according to what you say I suspect it's either the other firefishes or crabs... Hm...
