Clowns getting eaten?

[Waterlily163]

None of the snails have been eaten.

The first clown disappeared a week and a half ago. The two tomatoes disappeared sometime between the time I went to bed on Sunday and the time I got home from work on Monday.

I keep wondering if Audrey LTA did it. She's been looking mighty perky lately.

Tried the mirror trick...nothing.

Bummer...you don't have any eels that you are unaware of do you? (trick question)

 

[Waterlily163]

well, if I do, I'm not aware of them. lol

 

[Titus77]

I know that...that's why I had"(trick question)"...LOL :lol:

I have a true perc that disappears for a week at a time. I dont know where she goes but i always think she is dead and then all of a sudden she comes back out for a couple of days. She honestly keeps on messing with my emotions because i think she is dead and alive and etc...LOL
hopefully you find out what is happening to ur babies.

 

[Waterlily163]

thanks, that gives me some hope. I hope I can either find out what's happening or it stops happening!

Well not to crush your hopes but I had 2 clowns die... the first one dissapeared between 7am and 10am when I went to look for him again... vanished! I looked everywhere and I only have a 24 gallon tank with a lid... so he wasn't going far... I came to the conclusion that the crabs ate him.. Then I went to the local petco one day and saw a poor clown being devoured by clowns... this pretty much confirmed my conclusion... Then I lost a second clown... looked everywhere for him then I saw him in a crevice of a rock with 4 crabs on top of him... Now I am sure... And they make a quick meal of him as well....

I have bad luck with clowns....

Are you sure that your LTA is, in fact, an LTA (M. Doreensis)? It's possible that you got a mislabeled condylactis anemone, and they are known to eat clownfish.

Post a picture if you can...

My bubble coral ate my Yellow Clown Goby when it perched on it. Stupid coral...if it wasn't so pretty I'd get rid of it....

I'm pretty sure it's an LTA, here's an old pic. It's about 3x this size now.

I don't have any crabs that I know of. I need to turn all the lights out and see if anything comes out.

lily that pic is no bien!

 

[Waterlily163]

argh. I suck at dealing with pics. Here's another try.

LTA. Has any of you rock shifted? It long shot but it might explain 1.

 

[Waterlily163]

No, nothing has shifted. Good idea, though.
