Default Help Me Catch The Thief!

ok so one of my fish is being sneaky and picking up large frags and hiding them somewhere......

i bought a purple haze montipora frag yesterday. about 1.5 inches encrusted to a small rock, i wedged it into my live rock and made sure it was secure.

looks like one of my fish moved it and hid it somewhere. its nowhere to be found and its definatly to heavy to be blown away by the current. (its not like it fell off the rock into the sand, its literally gone and somewhere in the rockwork)

anyone know which one of my fish it could be?
I have:

about 6-7" regal tang
two 4" yellow tangs
5" foxface
two 1.5" clarkii clowns
2" coral beauty
2" cleaner wrasse
4" fairy wrasse
2" mandarin goby

What's your definition of secure? Apparently it was not.


Go to AI or BlueWorld and getdoome epoxy. Best stuff ever. I had a large snail moving / knocking corals over and no more!

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

it was secure to the point where i couldnt wiggle it with my finger......

... i found the frag, about 3 feet to the right and about 8 inches higher (on a rock structure) than its original place

theres no other way it could have gotten up there

I had a large clarkii who rearranged my rock work on a regular basis, he'd be at the top of my suspect list, gave him to the hour away fish store(got nothing local)lol

Maybe you have a ghost in your house?

I'd put my money on the Clarkii's, especially if they are starting to get comfy and mate. I had a Maroon that started to rut and would pick up HUGE LPS colonies (like literally break them off the rock) and drag them to the back corner of the tank because "they didn't suit the decor". I also watched it more than a few times tail-whip my SPS colonies and shatter them to pieces, then bury them in the sand. My second guess is the foxface.
