Do decorator crabs kill fish? I've lost a couple small tangs lately and when found them my crab was eating them. Not sure if he could have killed them or if he found them after they died.
 
My experience is they eat them after dead or dying. IMO I really don’t think they can catch them if healthy. How long have you had tangs? Were they new additions?
 
Yes! My decorator killed my fish. I saw him try to kill another too. Saw it with my own eyes. I kept him fed too.
