Do my blue spot puffer was looking long in the tooth. I went to my local seafood market and they had live black mussels. I got 6. Anyhow, when I got home I pulled one out, cracked open the shell a little bit and plopped it in. Floated to the sand and while the puffer took a look he didn’t do anything. After about a minute I left the room. Came back 60 seconds later and it was gone. No where to be seen. Out of curiosity I searched for it and can’t find it. I have pretty good visibility throughout my rock and it was a good size.
This is all a long way of asking if it could have buried itself or something. I have a small snowflake eel as well. I assume one of the fish or the eel grabbed it and took it somewhere but I feel like I should be able to see it. I only care cause if they move it and don’t eat it that is a lot to die and decay.
Not gonna rip apart the rocks to find it, but anything I should know about live black mussels? It’s becoming a mystery for the night.
