You wouldn't have a green brittle star or an arrow crab in your tank by chance would you??

I thought brittles and arrows are safe?

I have never owned either...but I have heard horror stories of green brittle stars and arrow crabs catching fish

junnie, a little more information about your tank may be needed like how long has your tank been set up? are the fish found dead or just missing? also the type of fish that have died and other tank mates?

Sorry to hear about your fish loss. Hopefully you can figure out what's going on.

theres a fine line between reef safe and not... will they harm corals... no k so then are they considered safe... yes... however i have seen arrow crabs jump at a passing fish trying to latch on. they will hunt them at night... if you have one or the other i personally would consider bring it back or trading it to someone with a mantis shrimp or some harlequin shrimp... just my opinion
