you may have a mantis shrimp in your lr try the trap.

Do you have a lid, or something covering the tank? Or any holes in the top somewhere? They'll get out of some pretty small areas, but they'll also get stuck in weird areas too. It could be a mystery forever...

Nope ever since I got rid of my eel I took my tops off but it's pretty open around the tank so not many places they could be rotting under. I just want to find them so there not somewhere in my tank fouling up my water.

Nope just 2 canisters and the inline gets pretty narrow on both and like I said I think they would get stuck in the impeller.

I doubt it my lfs has sub par live rock it's really only considered live because of the beneficial bacteria

 

[mauler]

Also I don't have a fish trap

 

[jay0705]

I say trigger or jumped lol

 

[mauler]

I vote magic I'm telling you poofed them selves back in the ocean. I guess when I get home I'm gonna move every single rock.

 

[mauler]

Also should I be worried about them rotting in my tank

 

[candaceswf]

not if you have a good clean up crew.

Personally I don't like leaving anything I know is dead in my tank, but your tank is supposed to be its own little ecosystem, so when something dies it would become food for other inhabitants.... that's why some people have "houdini" fish, the fish dies, and the inverts get right to work, sometimes cleaning up the crime scene in the matter of a couple hours

 

[jay0705]

Agreed, my shrimp molts are gone a day after they shed

 

[mauler]

That would explain why I can't find a body but I don't have a cuc the trigger eats them. So the bodys are somewhere in the tank or lodged in my filters.

 

[jay0705]

Or on the floor

 

[mauler]

I'm like 99.9% sure there not on the floor. So I'm 99.9% sure there in the tank or filters somewhere or there just magical.

 

[jay0705]

Lol I wana know

 

[mauler]

Me too and I'll let you know as soon as I figure it out

 

[jay0705]

Lol ok

i forgot about the cuc. your trigger may have killed the clown and left half a fish lying around and your cuc came and finished it off.
