I just discovered my sally lightfoot crab dead. Something had killed and started to eat it. I;m confused, because i dn't have anything in my tank that should eat the crab. What might have done this? LIVESTOCK INCLUDES: yellow tang, copperband butterfly, firefish, blue damsel, tomato clown, percula clown, black spined urchin, bubble anemone, and various snails and blue leg hermits.
 
what might have happened is that it got attacked when it was shedding it's shell. when it's at the most vulnerable.
 
Could have been a failed molt. Which resulted in a cuc attack, just doing their job.
