he was fine yesterday then look in tank today what the hell.the top of his mouth is shredded up almost gone has scuff marks all over top of his head and looks like his one eye is cloudy.i dont know if he got attacked by either my blood shrimp,i know i have a mantis shrimp never seen him but here the cliking noise when the lights go out dont know if a hermitt crab would do it or if its some weird disease,his mouth is so f##### up looks like maybe he went to attack something and it got ahold of him and he tried to get away and tore up his skin in the process.
 
sounds like he got attacked to me, if just his eye was cloudy i would lean more towards a disease but with the torn skin and marks sounds like something tried getting him. haven't seen any of my crabs attack my fish and they usually hide if one comes near them but as for shrimp don't have any of those but its a good possibility. did you just get the shrimp or six line recently?
 
it's in the same tank as the chromis? Could be something brought in with the chromis. I'd QT them all now. Whatever it is could be in your DT now.
