Just to beat a dead horse. I had to drain my entire system to catch my flame hawkfish. I finally figured out he killed all six of my orange lined cardinal fish. More than likely killed my starry blenny and was in the process of slowly tearing apart my female clownfish. NEVER AGAIN.
Was his name Hannibal?

Nope, just Hawk. lol
Yeah, never caught him in the act with the Cardinal Fish, but they were always torn to shreds. My Clownfish was trying to jump out of the tank to get away from him this morning so I knew then I had to do something so I drained the tank. Thankfully it's a 65 gal system and a Rubermaid Brute trash can just holds almost all the water. This is the second time I've drained my system to catch a fish.
