Clown killing a crab?

SkipsPrincess77 · Aug 12, 2015

I had gotten a Sally light foot crab about 2 weeks ago. Found it dead yesterday. One of its legs was on the other side of the tank. Surely it didn't starve to death since my other inverts are thriving. The snails in my biocube are huge. They grow twice as fast as in my other tank for some reason. The only thing I can think of is maybe my clown attacked it? The clown is the only actual fish in that tank. Rest is corals, inverts, and an anemone. I tried keeping a coral banded shrimp like 2 months ago but one of my blowers took him out. I got a Pom Pom crab when I got the Sally but it's so small I don't know if it still exists. I really want to keep a crab cause they are fun to watch.
Phos are 0 and nitrates are 10. I do 10% weekly water changes with RO unit. Opinions? Do clowns generally attack? I've read they can be aggressive. The crab was found dead below the anemone but not touching.

They molt and the molt looks REALLY REALLY real... Did you check belly for open flap...

I was hoping it was a molt. It smelled like dead fish when I pulled it out. It's only a 29gallon biocube so figured I'd have seen it by now. Idk what you mean by belly flap. It had a flat belly with hole on it which I was told it means it was a girl.
