BITES TAKEN OFF MY TOADSTOOLS

[alexytman]

I have a leather dominated tank and had a few TOADSTOOLS frags bitten from. A Japanese leather was completely eaten. I want to know who is the culprit.

All my stock (also have Halloween hermits)

My guess would be either a crab or an urchin.

Or a nightmarishly large bobbit that's finally found a taste for coral? :) no missing fish?

Thankfully not for months.

I would be looking for a new home for your lionfish pretty soon. It looks like it is almost big enough to eat your wrasse and anthias. They are dumb enough they will eat a fish the same size they are and choke to death on it. I have seen it happen!

Really? This guy has been this size for a long time and hasn't really grown.

What do you feed it? They really require live foods.

Not really, he eats just about any small sized frozen food (for some reason doesnt go after larger chunks). I just put mysis, clam, squid, shrimp in a cup and it eats it, (mysis is for other fishes)

No. I fed mine frozen.
