In 25 years of keeping clowns I’ve never seen that! Is it possible sure anything is. I almost wonder if you have a viscous tank hitchhiker that you haven’t seen yet. Heck I had a polyclad flatworm the size of a baseball that eat all my clams and snails over a year before I saw it. There’s others on here that haven’t added anything in years and found a Bobbit worm.

Suggestions of a hitchhiker? Ive looked never seen anything but its possible.

Rocks havnt moved all good this after noon. A power head would have pulled it through beating the fish up. This was a clean cut like a razor blade.

Could a powerhead have shutoff briefly and the damsel swam into it for shelter? This happens to blennies during water changes or so I've read.

That looks like a wide mouth. Like a Goby to me. Andrew's is absolutely capable of that.

Thats possible but do they have teeth to make a clean cut. Reminds me Jeremy Wade catching bull sharks in south Africa.

Use a red led flashlight, give it about a hour after your lights are totally off and the tank is dark, slowly look over every inch of you substrate then your rock work. Most critters will be out and about with lights off and your fish will be in there sleeping spots.

My power heads are always on. Not timed. Its possible but the wound is curved like a mouth.

Yes. They do. Our lfs has a pinkspot that kills clowns.

I'm going to look for a bulge

+1 Bullshark!

Or something in your tank that eats like a bullshark. Waiting for the bulge report.

Can't find the pink spot its in its den

 

[KrisReef]

Can't find the pink spot its in its den

Sleeping nice after a thanksgiving sized feast

 

[Hitman]

Can't find the pink spot its in its den

It has food coma!

 

[Katrina71]

Can't find the pink spot its in its den

Napping after the big meal.

 

[sfin52]

Honest you guys the only thing in the tank with a mouth that size is the pink spot

 

[Katrina71]

Anyone else look bloated?

 

[JoshH]

Yes. They do. Our lfs has a pinkspot that kills clowns.

Seriously? That's insane. Looking at them you wouldn't peg them hunting other fish around...

 

[sfin52]

Anyone else look bloated?

Nope. Only one not to come out for food is the watchman

 

[Thales]

I think it is the Toby, many bites, not one. The fish likely was dead of something else before becoming a meal.

I think they are more territorial than true hunters. That's how ours is. I will say the blue velvet damsel won't even tangle with her though.

Heather stated she seen a bulge in the belly of the beast a couple of hours ago. I was going to check for parasites. Than I saw this guy and forgot about the beast. And I woudnt think he was a fish killer
