Who would do such a thing

[cristhiam]

Found my jawfish swimming at the top of the water without eyes!! I have all these fish for 6+ months some over a year. Jawfish for about 4 months. I did not see any agression at it.

3 yellows tail damsels
cowfish,
saifing tang,
yellow watchman goby,
jawfish,
tail spot blennie,
purple pseudocromis,
starry blennie,
2 clowns,
1 black clown,
and sand perch goby

First guess is the pseudochromis.

Either that or maybe the damsels.

Got any crabs in there?

I agree. These guys can be terrors to some fish.

Agreed!

I agree with the pseudo and the damsels, I HATE DAMSELS

and the eyeball eating generally goes down after most fish die

Just a few days after introducing my strawberry pseudochromis in my 120G, it chased my flasher wrasse whenever he is in sight and nipped some fin off him despite the wrasse is 1/3 larger and was there first. My damsel and tang seems mild tempered to me in relative of the pseudochromis.

 

[cristhiam]

Yep maybe that pseudochromis, I've seen chase the sand perch goby couple times, just strage they been together for a while. The damsels only fight each other. No crabs but I have a pistol shrimp in there

 

[RedEyeElf]

i always have damsels killing large puffers and other random fish

had a small heniochus take down a 1.5' stars and stripes one time
would never believe it, had i not seen him in action

 

[supervdl]

I would guess the pseudochromis.

 

[Ooulophilia]

Cowfish can be nippy - I would not rule him out

 

[chevegan]

I don't think it was the yellow tails, they're not as aggressive as your average damsel. The pseudo however eew they kill for fun

 

[cristhiam]

I think the cowfish is big to get into the jawfish's burrow. I have to look close and see the pseudo. The yellow tails are not agressive to anyone else but them.

I am voting for the Damsels.
