Torch Coral busted for attempted Homicide!

[Myka]

I was feeding the reef today, everyone looks happy...busily savaging the food I added. All of a sudden the gold Torch Coral grabs the Jawfish! Jawfish is stuck on, suddenly motionless, and not breathing. Sh**, f***, d***!!!! So I use turkey baster to get Jawfish off the Torch. Jawfish floats around tank motionless. I reach in to grab Jawfish and find he's wiggling a bit. I go get a specimen container, and put Jawfish in there. He is breathing one big GASP every 10-15 seconds. He's a goner for sure. I turn off the tank lights to help him calm down. As I watch, the gasps are getting closer together. Eventually he is gasping heavily and is start to flick around a bit in the container. Then he starts swimming around wanting out. So I let him out. He's now swimming around the tank looking stressed as hell, and can't seem to find his burrow. I hope he gets his fried brain sorted out, and is ok. Nothing like seeing nature in action!! Very cool, but sad for the little guy.

In all seriousness that's freaking crazy! Never thought a regular run of the mill torch could be stinging fish like that, I will stick to my SPS and zoas haha.

Perhaps if you were feeding Pacifica plankton your Torch would be nutritionally complete and wouldn't require Blenny snacks?

Not so much jealously , more in the realm of apprehension.

Apprehension towards the fact that one day I know I will be on the hoarder special... this is an addicting hobby we got going .

Very weird, isn't it strange how a clown can host in a torch but a jawfish gets it's brain scrambled.

Yes, so strange. Wild world of wet things. Ok, that sounds a bit funny.

You say funny but my mind went straight in the gutter & down the drain.

Glad I'm not alone with the mental trip.

Perverts!

Jawfish found his burrow overnight, and looks ok. I will feed the tank in a bit...hopefully he eats!
