I had a similar situation occur. Fish were sick but really think our pistol shrimp was not helping out.So parameters are fine but I think I may have a mixture of some sort of illness, saw some rock scratching and a predator taking advantage of the situation. None of the fish look on their death bed prior to death/disappearance so i don't think they die before being grabbed but if are weak in any way... I have caught another mantis and seen at least 7 non reef safe crabs in the past few nights. None seem big enough to be the culprit but the sheer number is troubling.
It is uncured rock from kp aquatics. I was unsure about getting cured rock because depending on the process you may not get the good critters. Given the shape this rock came in though I would say even their cured rock will be full of life.Where'd you get this rock?
Yup I'm going to run down to kp here soon and get some rock macros and gorgonian soon. It's a pain getting out the bad but worth the troubles. The hairy crab is a gorilla crab... very bad eats anything corals and fish. Had some chromis come up missing after they started hiding in "that one rock" but at least he just fed on my gsp. The red mitrax crab is sopossed to be reef safe easy enough to catch since they graze but I'd worry they might taste test corals.It is uncured rock from kp aquatics.
