I recently bought a used tank. It is a 72 bowfront with about 80 lbs. of LR. When I got the tank it had some sand, the LR, 1 camelback shrimp, 1 fire cleaner shrimp and 1 yellowtail damsel.
After I set it back up and waited for a couple weeks I added a small school of green chromis. The damsel killed one the largest so I assume he had something wrong with him to begin with. The rest seemd to be doing fine but about 5 days after I got them 2 were missing one morning. Nothing on the floor nothing in the sump, no bones, no scales no nothing!
I was a little worried but there isn't much I can do at this point. A couple weeks pass and all of a sudden the fire cleaner shrimp is gone. No carcass, no molting, no evidence, just poof.
I haven't heard any tapping sounds from the rock nor have I seen anything when checking the tank out at night. I just added 100 astrea and hermits so I know if there is a mantis he won't go hungry but I'd like to know so I can find him and give him a good home.
Any ideas?
thanks,
Dan
