Twinspot Goby disapearance

[vickicj]

OK, had two small twinspot gobies - and I have a HUGE bristleworm break out - yesterday my Coral Beauty died, she had a pretty nasty gash on her side, I took her to my LFS and he said that he doubted a bristleworm could have done it; but now I was checking my tank and my gobies are nowhere to be found - could they have been eaten by bristleworms? I know that one of the worms is quite large and I've been working on getting rid of them simply by hand feeding my fish, which I've been doing the past couple of weeks as opposed to mixing & dropping it into the tank where much of it ended up food for said worms....has anyone known these things to feed on the fishes?? Any suggestions? I was about to add a sixline wrasse but I don't want it to get killed! or any of my other fish, of which there are only 2 left :-(

might be a mantis shrimp. Listen a few days for a clicking sound.
A spearing mantis shrimp can deffinately cause a slash in an angel like that

I wondered about that as well, but I haven't heard any clicking sound, although it makes more sense than the fireworms, even tho one of them is quite huge. I'm putting a trap in there tonite and see what I catch...thanks for the reply!
