Found bits of my extra large blue hermit crab in one corner of the tank. Positive its not a molt.

Here's the list of suspects
Blue tang
Tominini tang
Yellow tang
Sailfin tang
Blue throat trigger

If its who I think....there will be a murderer up for grabs....:twised:

Tangs are loving, caring, respectful, and friendly to all God's ocean critters.

The TRIGGER done it!!!!

It could be a wrasse too if you have one. My checkerboard use to grab them and smash them on the liverock until they were out of their shell and then he would kill them and often not even eat it. Seem that fish was killing for fun.

My niger trigger does not kill anything at all.

My trigger never killed anything. Until the lights came on. Then it was snack time.

I LOVE my trigger so I'm gonna say no, can't possibly be him. :mrgreen: my boy hangs out on the right side, always. The evidence was left on the opposite side of the tank where my solar wrasse hangs out.....He's gotta be the guily one!! The wrasse and crab came out of the same tank, must of been along time hate thing!!

I thought you said you suspected someone and there was going to be a murderer up for grabs :lol:

Maybe the trigger dropped the leavings in the wrasse territory to implicate it

Wasn't me mommy :rolleyes:

Triggers are known to hunt down shark babies in places outside their territories so that shark mommy/daddy doesn't know it was the triggers. Sharks always thinks it the clownfishes and hence they go after their eggs. :)

I thought it was maybe a bad tang as I have 2 that have some attitude that needs adjusting.

If the trigger pulled the trigger well he's done a good job directing attention away from himself :lol: I won't get rid of him!

My blue throat must be one in a million. Crabs, shrimp and everything else are safe around him.

Well I guess that's not totally true. He seems to love fighting with my Scopas although he gets the worst of it when the tang sticks him.
