Who is chewing the tail on my Tang?

[Homer]

Can some of you help me on this. I have a small yellow tang in my 90g that each day a bit more of his tail is nipped off. Who is the most likely culprit?

Coral Banded Shrimp
Camel back Shrimp
Bluestreak clearner wrasse
False clowns (pair) about 1.5 "
One Banggai Cardinal, full grown
One Firesfish goby
One green emerald crab
Hermit crabs
snails

Thanks for your help!

Hey Homer.

My suspects would be the Coral banded shrimp. He probably has nothing better to do.

The cleaner wrasse...maybe he's getting into the cleaning a bit much.

Or....the banggai. Maybe the tang sleeps too close to the banggai.

Then again clowns are damsel cousins....

You might try rearranging a few pieces of rock?!?

Thanks Brooke, I rearranged rocks yesterday so I could see my carpet anemone. I think the CBS is guilty. Right after I placed the tang in the tank, the CBS grabbed the tang right on the nose. She pulled away and was not hurt, but the CBS showed his personality.
