Can someone help me determine what happened to my fire clownfish? She was eating fine and hanging in her BTA last night, went to do evening feeding today and she was head down and in the grips of a hermit crab. She had not been dead long because she was still bleeding in places. I have no idea what happened to her?
Background, she is about a year old. She had a severe injury about 4 months ago, got snared by my galaxea coral and by the time I saw her she was stuck to the coral. She lost her left front fin and had an open wound for several weeks. I thought she was going to die a number of times. I fed her medicated LRS but couldn't catch her to put her in a medicated tank. Over time she healed and was her normal feisty self, chasing her tankmates away from her nem and fighting for the biggest pieces of food.
I'm just at a loss what happened in less than 24 hrs. Other fish are tomini tank and aptasia eating file fish, both healthy and eating normally. Assorted snails, 2 urchin, a few small hermits, assortment of sps, lps and soft corals.
