Did you see the cbs take the clarkii alive? Not discrediting you, but if you didn't see it happen, you can't really know how it died. Bo

I have a CBS and three false percs, a yellow tang, and a coral beauty and the CBS is relatviely large and doesn't bother anything else in the tank. He just walks around eating stuff from the ground and playing, and he has not interest i hurting other fish. He does attempt to protect himself if fish get near, but doesn't try to eat them.

yes, you are right. NO I didnt actually see it take the fish, but I saw the start of the aggressiveness, it actually picked on a scratch (that I have no ideas if it came from the CBS or a piece of rock), but it (cbs) never left the clarkii alone, reguardless. At first I thought wow, its "cleaning" the fish, but IMO only, I believe it was the reason for the death. I may of had the CBS from h**l, or the dumbest clown? All fish or inverts have their own personality.......your tank your choice. Like I said I am biased and never again..........

I had a CBS take out my Sally and my Serpent Star. I know because he acted very aggressive and was always trying to catch my fish. I took him to my LFS and now I only put shrimp without claws into my tank.

yeah my CBS will take food from my hand too. He jumps at the other fish when they are near him but even if he pinches one it dont look like he is trying to kill them. Only fish i had that he killed was the ones i wanted him to kill. I bought to very small domino fish and he took them out within a week. My CBS is about 2 inches long including his whiskers im sure he is about 6 inches. I love mine.

Nope, was a strong fish, and by no way, shape or form was he on his way out. It was a tiny scratch, IMO I think the CBS liked pulling blood from my fish! No matter where my fish moved to the CBS was following. If no CBS, it would of healed on its own (well with my added help). Like I said, I may of had the CBS from h**l, or the dumbest clown?
