Where'd my Green Chromis Go?
I had a young green chromis, along with four others in a 46 gallon tank. And about half an hour later, it was missing! It was the most unhealthy one, but still in pretty good shape. It just had a little white spot or something bad on its side.
I think it might have gotten eaten, or it could have died and gotten eaten, because I tested if the water was bad and there was nothing, and it all smelled OK. The invertebrates in my tank that could have eaten it are... -1 7 inch wide Haitin Reef Anemone -Serpent Starfish I think it could have been the serpent star because I saw it chewing on something, but I read that they aren't dangerous, could it have gotten it if it died? |

I would say it most likely got eaten.

That serpent star had a early Thanksgiving dinner.

Yes serpent stars will easily eat DEAD fish. That is a good thing about them. So if something passes away in your rock work and you can't get to it the serpent star will.

I have heard that the chromis are a pretty territorial fish. I was advised not to have any more than two in my 90 gallon. They school during the day, but at night it's everyone for themselves. You had 4 in a 46, my guess is that they're taking things into their own hands and reducing their own numbers to more "tolerable" ones.
