Disappearing Green Kenya Trees

[tiny tim]

I have a mixed reef that is very heavy on Kenya Tree and Colt Corals.
I did have a nice mix of red and green Kenyas but in the last couple of weeks I've lost all my greens, three in number.
They dissapear overnight without a trace. Really healthy specimens too, All over 5" tall when extended with 1/2" to 3/4" trunks and multiple arms. All other Kenyas/Colts area still a picture of health and vitality.

The only recent addition to the tank has been a large Tiger Cowrie.
Could he be the culprit? Seems strange that only the greens have gone?

It's driving me nuts!

Maybe the greens taste good but the others don’t. Softies can vary significantly in which substances they produce and even though the greens are Kenya trees they’re fairly different even from a spreading perspective.

Interesting, thanks for that.
I didn't think of it that way although when it's put to me in those terms seems glaring.
There mght be a move in his future.

Feel a bit stupid for not asking the question sooner. Probably would have saved the other two greens.
Tank looks a bit sad now really. everything else I have (kenyas, colts, xenias, a gorgonian and a BTA) is a pinky red.
All a bit monochrome but pink if you know what I mean.

Guilty as a bed pisser!
Just caught him scouring the rock he ate the Kenya from last night as soon as the lights went down.
Anyone want a tiger cowrie?
Moving him to the fowler tank tomorrow!
