My frag tank is losing zoas fast. Who is the most likely culprit?
I have inspected those suffering and those still healthy and see no nudis, eggs, spiders, or pox. My parameters are all good to great. Those that are afflicted go from okay and open to closed completely overnight, and after that they become almost nothing left similarly fast. Many in the tank are fine and have been for months. Whole colonies (10+) suffer this fate. I suspect something is eating them.
I have a ghost clown, Scopas tang, lawnmower blenny, a few medium blue-leg hermits, a melanarus wrasse, and an ORA aiptasia filefish (but no aiptasia) in this tank. I feed daily. I've never seen any eat coral, but it's a frag tank so I don't watch it all day like my display tanks.
I took the filefish out last night since he is my first suspect.
Who do you accuse?
