fish disappearing

[tony7855]

Hello everyone. I have a lawnmower blenny and draggonet that just went missing at the same time and I haven't seen either of them in about a weak. What is the possibility of them going at the same time? Is there something that would kill them? I have a flame angel, 4 chromis, pajama cardinal, blue hippo tang, yellow tang, 2 true perk clowns, sailfin tang, and yellow anthias. I just took my coral banded shrimp out today cause he kept attacking my other fish. Any clues as to what may have happened would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I think you might have answered your own question. Coral banded shrimp are pretty aggressive and can eat small fish.

I know they are aggressive, but he has never killed anything before except a cleaner shrimp. I've also had the mandarin for about 2 yrs. I just don't understand why they (blenny and mandarin) would go missing roughly the same time. I've had the shrimp about 2 yrs also and he's never killed a fish. The blenny is new to the tank so I can understand why he could be gone. The mandarin is a mystery.

coral bands can be a pain, you just have to make sure he eats enough to stay happy.
