I’m pretty sure my small mimic tang is inside my RBTA.... I had the tang for about a month now and he was doing really well. He liked to swim up and around the suspected RBTA. I’ve heard the stories about sick of dead fish getting eaten but I just don’t think that was the case here.

I have 3-4 of these RBTA in my tank and they don’t have bubbly tentacles, they are long, just like a torch. I’m now wondering if those long tentacles are enabling my RBTAs to grab and hold onto food/fish better. This is like the 3rd fish now now to disappear without s trace. Only exception is this time I noticed how fat the RBTA is and when I push on it I can tell something hard is inside.
