steve-s Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Do you have a flame hawk? Popular community fish but notorious shrimp eaters. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve-s Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 I would be very suprised if it was either of the tangs, maybe a rogue crab or some other unwanted hitchhiker (the dreaded mantis). I only mentioned the flame hawk as I has read of someone spending a couple of hundred dollars on 2 redline cleaners back in Australia only to watch their flame hawk decimate them within about 20 mins of them being added to the tank. A very expensive lesson. Hope you get to the bottom of it. Cheers, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
