disappearing mushrooms

[des_merc]

Went camping, came back after 2 night to find no trace of any of our mushrooms left in our tank. Star polyps fine, kenya tree fine, all animals fine.

Any thoughts?

We have a coral banded, hermit crabs, snails. Not sure if any of these would eat them? I do not think any fish would eat them? You can see a fish list in the signature if they do

Well from the sounds of this and your other thread i would hesitate a guess of a big dirty crab of some sort or a eunicid worm http://www.oregonreef.com/sub_worm.htm What type of fish in the tank/which tank in your sig?

due to changes and losses I had to update my sig.

Its the 100 gallon where the mushrooms disappeared.

The 65 bow where the fish are disappearing. (falco's hawkfish, orchide dotty, 4 chromis) The tank is healthy. Water parameters are fine. And seriously what would take down a hawkfish!? A shark! I am at a loss.

All my rock is over 3 years established in my tanks with very little from the store. Mostly from established tanks. No crazy things like this until now.

Guess I should set a crab trap in the bow tank.

I discovered I had a rock crab in my tank only after losing 3 fish,when your lights are low at night,check your tank,that's when the crab came out,got him with a fondu scuer,didn't lose any more fish after that.

That worm is terrible!!! :redface: To the point my wife wants the tanks out of our house, well just kidding, I didnt show her, cause that would be the response.

I will have to do the red lens over the flashlight thing.

Gonna set a few crab traps. A glass with food in the bottom of it.
