Came home to find my six line wrasse on the bottom of the tank dead. he was surrounded by my staghorn hermit, red legged hermit and a bumblee snail. the staghorn was munching away:( he showed no signs of distress at all. yesterday he was his normal self. flying out of rockwork and eatting mysis. i see zero signs of any distress in other fish. i have a longnose hawkfish, midas blenny, PJ cardinal, dottyback cardinal, purple firefish and a blue/green chromis. inverts i have cleaner shrimp, blood shrimp, 15 or so snails, emerald crab, staghorn hermit and 3 red legged hermits.
ammonia - 0 (API)
nitrite - 0 (API)
nitrate - between 2 ppm and 4 ppm (red sea)
temp - 79.2
alk - 9.2 (red sea)
is it possible one of my hermits got him? you'll see the chunk out of the bottom but that was where my staghorn was eatting him.

So sorry for your loss, I just added one to my tank and already love him.
