Is foxface the culprit?

My 125g has been up and running for just over a year now with plenty of success. About a month ago I added a foxface rabbitfish. Ever since, my entire zoo collection has been disappearing little by little. I caught him once nibbling on a colony, but since I sleep during the day, I hardly get a chance to sit around and see if he's the reason for the rest of them disappearing.
My other inhabitants are: a blue hippo and yellow tang, a sleeper goby, a cardinalfish, a lawnmower blenny, several chromis and the usual CUC. Nothing like this has happened before. As far as water parameters, everything is normal.
My entire back wall was full of different kinds of zoos and now I'm left with a couple of colonies. :cry:

Definitely sounds like the foxface is your culprit, especially if you've caught him doing it in the past. I've seen mine go at zoanthids unintentionally while trying to get to algae that is underneath the polyps and in the process he's ripped off a few. He never eats the polyps though.
