Mysterious death unexplained

[mikesreef]

I have a pair of clownfish which are breeding with 2nd batch of eggs. This morning I found the female dead. The ony sign of injury is a circular hole 3/16 in diameter on the lower side. Absolutely no marks of anykind on external sides of fish. I cut the fish in half and found all insides to be missing. I rulled out crabs due to there being sloppy when eating and this fish had all of its meat not touched. Its as if something ate it from inside out. The clown was alive last night before the lights went out. Has anyone ever experienced this. The male clown is doing fine and the eggs haven't been touched. I'm at a loss.......

Wow mike........that is an odd event I have thought about this post all day and I have no clue what might have happen.

Sorry about the loss, try to raise the clutch though that will get your mind off of it for awhile.
