where is my fish?

[cub4bearINDIANA]

hey NW Indiana...

here is my story.. as some of you knew I got new tank - Current Solana 34G and about 3-4 weeks ago transfered my 2 yrs old Aquapod to my new tank.. I had 2 Ocellaris Clownfish, Brittle Sea Star, and some cleaning crew... well I moved all that to my 34G tank.. decided to take out that Brittle Sea Star cause it got big during those 2 years.. after I done that I decided to go with some extra fish.. well I got small Twin Spot Goby.. and week later a small Blennie.. everything was fine with them.. they were eating.. acting normal.. suddenly they disappear.. well I started searching and found that these two are pretty hard to keep... I thought my tank was not good enough for them..then I tried with two very small Clown Gobies.. one disappear a week ago.. second was still alive today.. I saw him when I was leaving room.. and when I got back he is gone.. ? I am like WTH? I just can not find what is in my tank killing all that fish? and the worst I can not even find it later... so for today I have my old two Ocellaris Clownfish... and just added 1 Springeri Pseudochromis which is doing just fine and swim all around the tank..

I do have Mexican Turbo Snails.. 3 of them.. I do have some Bue Leg Hermit and Scarlet Reef Hermit.. and 1 Cleaner Shrimp.. thats it..

now is that possible something could sting my fish? like a bubble coral? and eat it? I have some hairy mushrooms as well but they are not so quick to catch the fish and eat it.. could the crabs kill it? I just have no idea what is going on.. what is killing my fish? my clowns are fine.. my Springeri Pseudochromis is fine.. all the small, slow fishes are gone.. help me if U know anything.. thanx.

it could be the Pseudochromis spooking the fish causing them to jump out of tank. Have you checked everywhere outside the tank?

Yuo mite have another brittle star that was a hitch hikker.Try putting some food out at night with the lights out and use a red lens light(they don't see red).And see if something comes out of hiding.

I just saw something very amazing (to me).. so yesterday my yellow goby was found alive hiding in small cave.. and he was around all day today till about 10 min ago when Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab attacked him and stab him to the point they both fall down on the sand and I just had to act quickly so I put my hand to the tank and pull the both out.. Crab was still holding that small body.. it was BAD! well I have a small 5.5G tank and I put my goby there.. still alive but I am not sure how bad damage he got from crab.. I am sad
