Stuck Fish; Now There All Stuck and Dead!! HELP!
 
Anyone ever had there fish get stuck in the rock work?
At least I think that is what happen, I put some food in my tank and couldent find the coral beauty. Looked for a while and Found it wedged backwards in a hole in the rock. I don't know if it died and the hemit crab pulled him in there or he got stuck and the crab got him.
He looked like he was doing fine yesterday eating fine and swiming normally, I don't know what happend.

Pretty nasty looking but here is a couple of picks:

If he was head first I'd think maybe he got stuck,
But tail first I got to think something's dragged him in.

I got a fish stuck in a cave that narrow in the end.. the top fin pop up and unable to get the fish out. I even took the rock out and shake it still no luck. After 1hr of fighting it and gave up. Put the rock back upside down....the next day woke up with the fish swimming around

Unfortunately that fish looks dead. if its not dead, its pretty close to dead.

actually the fish survived and since that accident happen his behavior changed.. He became very aggresive fish and end Up I need to give it away after 2 months of harrasing Sand shifting goby.. with top of the tail gone from the fish chomping on it and my Porcupine puffer hiding in his cave almost 10hrs a day.

Now all of my fish are dead. The all ended up the same way the coral beauty did pulled in to holes in the rock one clown was in the same hole as the coral beauty and the other clown was in another. I found one ugly looking crab eating one of the clowns. (Picture attached pulled off his pinchers pulling him out of the rock.) I don't know what happend they all seem normal. I had one clown for a little over a year and the other for about 8 months and the coral beauty I had for 4 months. Haven added anything new the last rocks I put in about 6 months ago. All water levels are good. 2 pepermint shrimp, urchant, zebra hermit, zoo's and snails are all fine. I don't know what to do!
Anyone have any suggestions?

I would suspect a predator that has just discovered how to catch fish and I don't think it is that crab you caught.

I would leave the tank fishless and try to trap...whatever it is when it gets hungry

What should I be looking for? Should I set a trap?
