ok guys i just got my yellow watchman about a week ago, and about every few days parts of his tail keep dissappering.

i have a
true perc
emarald crab
red scarlet hermit
rainford goby
coral banded shirmp

so what is doing this to my watchman, and will his tail come back?

This happened to my scooter blenny, I don't know what it was only that it started when he got clapped by my derassa clam. The problem continued until the fish was half gone and still alive, the only part behind his front finns was a spine hanging out into nowhere. The fish did not survive.

Not much help really,

Sorry to hear about that....How big a tank? He may have gotten into a fight w/ either the Perc or goby... If he was the last one added it may be that the others are dominant. Do they show any aggression to him that you have seen? If they do, maybe rearrange the rock work so they have to reestablish territories.....

no aggression that ive seen so far. the perc never messed with the other goby
