How fast can a cleanup crew eat a whole fish?

I have a missing fish (Bangaii Cardinal). Is it possible my cleanup crew completely consumed him? It would have to have been in about the last 18 hours. I rearranged all my rockwork looking for him, but he's totally gone. I have 12 blue leg hermit crabs, 2 emerald crabs, 6 nassarius snails, 6 astrea snails, and 6 margarita snails. The only other fish I have is a lawnmower blenny.

Im sure he has been cunsumed at this point. It doesnt take long for clean up crews to take care of a fish.

If you have a good crew, his tiny bones are just part of the sandbed by now.
