It does which is amazing because every time I fed he ate. I did buy him when they got him in the same day, might be the issue? But he’s seemed healthy. Doesn’t explain the crab dead tooThe goby looks malnourished. The firefish was obviously harrased to death. I doubt the gramma did it. A female clown can get aggressive in a small tank but I'd expect to see signs of aggression before a chunk of its rear was missing.
I don’t think mine have chosen their gender yet. I see them twitching at each other stillFemale cclown in my tank is definitely mean
Because his size or he’s a safe crab?The crab is innocent

What kind of pest could cause mayhem like that? I have a record of cirlonoid isopods that took out a fire fish at the start of my tank. Could explain the gobies death. Not the crab or the fire fish attack thoughThe goby could've had a parasite which would rob it of adequate nutrition. Like you said though, doesn't explain the crab. And something clearly tried to chow down on the firefish. Maybe a pest you've overlooked?
At that size could he do that kind of damage to the fire fish? And the goby doesn’t have any damage or the crab. Mantis shrimp with those smashers? Idek I’m just guessing blind at this point.I believe it’s a gorilla crab s as nd a known killer often a hitchhiker on rock
You know what to do with that crab
With mantis- you will hear clicking soundsAt that size could he do that kind of damage to the fire fish? And the goby doesn’t have any damage or the crab. Mantis shrimp with those smashers? Idek I’m just guessing blind at this point.
I have a pistol so I’d never be able to tell the difference. He’s been in since I had the rock, 2+ months why would it choose to start now? What killed it?With mantis- you will hear clicking sounds
A crab that small can cause havoc

This is pics of dead Dracula goby. No visual damage
Just so many inconsistencies I see what you’re saying but how’d crabby die.I'm not much help there unfortunately. A mantis could, but you obviously pay close attention to your tank so I'd suspect you'd hear it. I like Vetteguy's idea of the gorilla crab. They can be extremely hard to find and can absolutely take down fish.
I know, he was active and eating though A Randall’s pistolGoby looks skinny, not a healthy fish What type of pistol did you buy?
I look almost every night with a flashlight never seen anything exciting except for all the worms and suchDuring night, shine a flashlight into tank and you may find your culprit
