Hi Guys,

Everythings going well with my tank apart and then something has to go and get me down! I have "lost" a fish (literally), it is my starry dragonet. It seemed ok and healthy, it was eating and getting round the tank and on the live rock a lot then just disapered one day this week. There is no sign of it what so every for two days now. I have some theories but I hope some of you can help me figure out what happened to it:

My thoughts:
- It jumped out the tank (open top) and one of my dogs ate it (worst case scenario)

- It got sucked up I pump during tank cleaning (highly unlikely, we probably would have seen it in the bucket!!)

- It got frightened by something and swam into the anemone and that ate it???

- It died and got eaten by the inhabitants of the tank while I was at work.

These are just my theorys, if you think you might have known what happened to it let me know. (My main tank inhabs are: purple tang, bicolor angel, maroon clown, anemone, cleaner shrimp, fire shrimp & bristle star)

Is your anemone one of the carpet species?

[samsreef]

Yes I think so, it said when we purchased it that it was a "Green Carpet Anemone"

[Saltwater]

Thats probably what happened to your fish The Carpet ate it. What are you feeding your carpet?

[samsreef]

The clownfish feeds it food when we feed the clownfish frozen food. You can see it crabing great big chunks and stuffing them in the anemone.

Do I need to be feeding it more? (Its quite hard to get at where it is)
