missing fish

[rob62779]

i posted a thread about missing 2 fish in the last week. I though it might have been the clam that i just got. I looked around the rock and couldnt see anything. I was going to take apart my rock to find the fish. im missing a firehawk and mandarin. the firehawk has been in the same take for about a year. the only think new is the clam and mandarin. kind of weird. I checked all filters and cant seem to find the missing fish.
any suggestions!!!!

Do you hear a tapping noise in your tank at night? It could be a Mantis that did your fish in. I doubt the clam is capable of doing it.

i never had a problem for the last year.. it was strange.. i will be checking tonight to find that

if he exists.... i was not happy when i found missing fish... i really liked the firehawk... The question is what else will a mantis eat? will it go after corals too? i am in the middle of buying a house so i moved the tank to my cousins house.. any steps i should take when i move the tank again.. maybe dip the rock in fresh water....
any help would be great...
