| Neon dottyback | HELP!! Please... Im having a crisis  Saturday, my mom picked out 2 fish for the 55... a dwarf angel and a yellow watchman... i got off work today and the dwarf was fine.. in 2 hours he has been completely stripped and all thats left is his scull and spine!!! HE WAS AWESOME!!!! now hes gone. I found the arrow crab picking the spine, emerald crab picking a close by rock, and the hawkfish close by as well. who do i exterminate first? i love them all.no problems yet but should i pull the watchman out and put him in the 28? I know hawkfish are bad with bottom dwellers and inverts, but hes left the crabs, snails, and the watchman alone so far... |

| Over Achiever    | Re: HELP!! Please... Let me get this straight! You came home from work and the Angel was fine, swimming around, eating and acting otherwise normal. Then 2 hours later you returned and the Angel was picked to the bones!! I doubt very seriously that either of those crabs could have picked that fish to the bones in 2 hours! It is even questionable if the other fish could have done it. What kind of Hawk fish do you have? |

| Excellent Guesser :D | Re: HELP!! Please... So it was pretty small and not much meat on it anyways. I don't know if your current inhabitants killed it,seems improbable, but they definitely made a snack of it. The speed of it's death seems strange as well. How big is the flame hawk?
