Disappearing fish . . . what is happening?!?!?

Sorry to hear about the losses.

I would be suspicious of a bobbit worm. I know you said it was all new rock but who knows.

If you do, get a red flashlight and check your tank a few nights at like 3am. Make sure there is absolutely no other light in the room.

Have you checked around to see if they have jumped?

Do you have a cat that likes to fish?

I haven't noticed any bacterial infections. No signs of anything. I had white poop in my clowns a while ago, but mixed meds (general cure) into their food for 3 months and haven't seen anything since then.

Some infections have no visible symptoms other than some lethargy and hiding before death.

Of course . . . no jumpers - and no way for them to get out. I have the screens on my tank. Everything is closed. But have searched around the tank and behind - no sign of anything.

That is the weird thing - I watch them every night - haven't noticed anyone not eating or acting weird at all.

Yes - nothing seems to be working. I tried dosing an no3 reducer. It has helped, but just keeping it at bay.

Did the missing fish happen after you changed your feeding routine?
Do you think the crab/star could becoming more opportunistic

That is what I am wondering - should I remove the star fish? Do I need to feed him silver sides or something like that? Do you think the Niger Trigger would have attacked my other fish, or do you think I should give her a second chance in the main tank?
