So I bought a new tomini tang and a flame angel. Both seemed Fine for a few days- then the angel disappeared. After some peeking into rocks the current brought his half devoured corpse into view... Here are the usual suspects...

Water- 80 deg, 9 dkh, 8.4 ph, calc 450 1.0224 salinity, o ammonia/nitrate/nitrite

Thumper the One spot foxface rabbitfish- highly unlikely as he is too big for the suspects caves, and has an alibi (I was eating the nori off the rock with Tommy)
Tommy the Tomini Tang- seemed to not care about the little flamer, as he loses mental stability and licks the glass walls of hi home.

Spotty the Marine BettA- shifty with one eye always on what's happening- he owns the tank, but with his own condo on the left side of town, highly unlikely he drifted "over the tracks to anenome-ville"..

Papa, Mama, and Baby- the Molly crew- may have just cause due to the fact the victim ate their offspring, but they also eat their own babies, so highly unlikely.

Ned the Mandrin Dragonette. Also highly unlikely as he's Usually following Spotty around to eat his left overs.


Pepe' and the cat- the Skunk Clowns-- living in anemonie-ville, highly unlikely, but if he ventured over the tracks - may be possible...

Bubbles and Bilbo- the regular clowns- to busy drinking around in the powerheads and distracted by the labs walking past the front of the tank...

The clean up crew--- Jerry the fire shrimp, Archie and Agnes the coral banded shrimp, Gem the emerald crab, and Sally light foot pinchy face-- all too small to do any real damage, although I swore I heard them getting reamed out late last night for not "properly" disposing of the body...

Not sure if any of this was found entertaining, but inwas pretty sad to find a $60 corpse last night, so this is just a vent I hope u all found entertaining.

What did the autopsy show? did the medical examiner shed any light on the cause of death?

Autopsy showed that shelled scavengers only enjoy 60% of
the fish...

Based on size comparisons I think they are safe for now- I have been pulling the hermits from the tank and sending them to sumo scavenge- a little too much claw waving!

Good write up Sherlock but you missed the ninja, you know the one that only hides in the shadows and whacks passer by with lightning Kung Fu blows....

Yup Frankie G the ninja eucinid worm, never seen but leaves victims lifeless in dark caves.....
