Ok,
So this morning I notice that my small hammer is gone off its frag. I have listed the suspects above. Please vote and explain why. Also what are the risks to my remaining Duncan and Zoas? Also in the tank are: Blue spot jawfish, Occelaris Clowns, Blue green Chromis, Yellowtail Damsel, Mandarin Dragonette, and varius red leg, blue leg and scarlet hermits.

I like the fish more than the corals by a little, but I wanna know what you all think about who might be the culprit! Also, are the Duncan and Zoas equally at risk?

Please weigh in!

The top 4 you listed are known to harass corals sometimes. I just lost a 5 year old frogspawn to a pair of clowns that decided to use it as a host. They shredded it until it was just skeleton.

You're angels are probably the most likely culprits. Also as ritter mentioned, clowns can chose to host a coral. Sometimes the coral adapts and sometimes it dies.

Peppermint Shrimp. I had one that munched on my Acan. Now I hand feed the shrimp to keep him well fed and happy
