How long have you had the coral beauty? Are any other fish showing similar signs? Any other recent additions to the tank? A picture might be beneficial as well. Let's see if others have opinions..... #reefsquad , @Jay Hemdal

@Jay Hemdal is the expert on this, but that to me looks like someone is enjoying a little snack of tail fins. I'd take a closer look at your suspect list.....maybe the basslets.

If you have a sump, put that poor guy down there to see if he recovers.

Yeah if I had to guess, I’d say it’s one of basslets, but could potentially be one of the clowns too (didn’t say what kind they are), they can get pretty aggressive.

All the fish are model citizens.
CB has decided to move behind a rock at night that happens to be where my fire shrimp hangs out.
Chould it be him?

There is a midas blenny in your video, but it wasn't on your fish list. Did you have the blenny before you got the angel? These blennies can be really nasty. One trick is to set your cell phone up to video the whole tank, then leave the room. After time, cvome back and view the video for signs of aggression.

Yes midas before angel. He doesnt seem to bother anyone either. Actually saw the fire shrimp go after the angel pretty aggressively when it got near its spot which is where the angel has decided to go at night.
