I forgot to mention that he will eat anything. Everything I've put in the tank so far he will eat. Shrimp, flakes, obviously corals, anything. The one thing he didn't do was attack a snail who had been turned over. Suggestions?
I added a few pathos crabs at the same time which I have heard will clip Zoa's to wear. I have looked around the tank and can't find any trace of my zoas. I definitely think they were eaten. Thoughts?
That is good to know. My stock is 2 snowflake clowns, pajama cardinal, red firefish, hawkfish, 2 pithos crabs, scarlet and blue hermits, 2 peppermint shrimp, tuxedo urchin, and snails. I didn't think it was Mr. Flame because he hasn't attacked my peppermint shrimp or snails (even when they flip over). I guess it had to be the Pithos Crabs trying to frag and wear them?
No, not the urchin. He stays around the glass and two rocks that have lots of algae. I think it was the dang Pitho Crabs. I just caught one trying to pick a margarita snail out of his shell. I think I am going to take them back.
I have an urchin that wears zoas in my 20gal
It was definitely the crabs. They are going back. Too bad, because they are cute as hell.
They have been good boys so far, and there is no way that they could have eaten the amount of zoas that got taken out in one night. I think it's one douchy crab.
It wasn't a large colony, but three growing and multiplying frags. Cleaned to the plug base. I was even admiring my orange oxide zoa before bed as it was growing wonderfully, and the next morning it was gone. So sad.
Everything was super healthy.
