Mouth to mouth and tourniquet did not help.

Sorry for your loss

@Crabby48 Is your pinkspot territorial?

Sort of. He can be tolerant but will ram them away open mouth. The only fish he has no patience for is the Melanurus.

Goby was eating from my hand when the Melanurus took the opportunity to go in the pistol cave. Never thought a goby could move so fast.

I'm guessing CUC.

What kind of powerheads do you use?
I dont have a cleanup crew. The wrasse puffer and watchman make sure if that. Tried snails and crabs all a bite sized snack.

Every other day. I did cut back a bit maybe part of the problem. Thought of that last night. The food god is back to feeding every day

It looks just like a puffer bite(s) to me. I thought that before I saw the stock list. I would also guess it was many bites, not just one. Puffers bites are like metal sheers, clean cut.
Thats is a very good possibility

I have a pink spot goby that swallowed a 2 inch cleaner shrimp in a single gulp. I suspect she also ate a fire fish. My votes on the goby.
I have often said if my hi-fin was bigger...it seriously tries to bite me. I think their violent tendencies are underestimated.
