I think it is the Toby, many bites, not one. The fish likely was dead of something else before becoming a meal.

possible but all where accounted for this afternoon

Hello;

You don’t have any bobbitt worms do you, they can absolutely make that clean of a cut.

 

[Katrina71]

Despite the mystery, I'm sorry.

Not that ive seen. I did think of that. @Sarah24! Thank you

Thanks. At least it was a 5$ fish. Now how do I prevent another.

Hello,

Your fish list doesn’t seem to have the likelihood of jaws. I’d look for a pest or large hermit crab even.

Feed her well and stay away from the little guys that want to explore the pinkspot's territory.

Yikes! What is the clowns size comparison?

Horrible! I'm so sorry!

That’s a tell tail sign of your Toby Puffer. A clown can’t do that clean of a bite.

Are you sure it wasn't dead and a CUC member did that?

I'm just brainstorming - is it possible that it wasn't a fish but rather it got into a powerhead?

Clown doesn't have the power to do that either. I would actually suspect a power head or maybe a rock collapse. Something mechanical.

Could a powerhead have shutoff briefly and the damsel swam into it for shelter? This happens to blennies during water changes or so I've read.

Holy cow! ;Wideyed;Wideyed;Wideyed;Wideyed

+1 Bullshark!

Or something in your tank that eats like a bullshark. Waiting for the bulge report.

I think it is the Toby, many bites, not one. The fish likely was dead of something else before becoming a meal.

Thank you guys and gals. Thank you for your concern and knowledge its really appreciated. The sense of humor was also appreciated.

I wake up fairly early I'll take a gander tomorrow morning.

To anybody else looking at this post suggestions are welcome and thank you.

Hello,

Ummm I just read the news they finally have a video footage of a giant squid. They were not filming your tank were they if so ahhh I’m kinda jealous.

(Sorry if this was already said, I haven't read the whole thread)
The issue is we have not ruled out the possibility that the fish's tail was ripped off/bitten off and then subsequent bites were taken out of the "Exposed" end of the fish until it reaching the point you see in the photos. Afterall, once a fish is "leaking tasty goodies" the other fish aren't going to go to the opposite end (the head) to start nibbling, they will be opportunistic and eat the fish from behind.

Sorry to see this brother. My vote is he was chewed on after he died.

 

[Katrina71]

If Heather saw a bloated belly earlier...

 

[Crabby48]

How big is your pink spot?

My pink spot could easily take that bite and go feed him and the pistol.

 

[Katrina71]

@Crabby48 Is your pinkspot territorial?

 

[Katrina71]

You beat me. I was tagging you.
