Do Not Listen To Me!!!
In the last few months I have had four Tangs vanish the last being tonight.
The only threat if I could think of any in this tank is 2 clowns, yellow tang, hippo tang, lieutenant tang, 3 anthias, and a 6-7" fox face. The rest are puny or not aggressive ever. I also have a coral beauty and a flame angel which the flame can be a douce but the latest blonde naso was about 5" which made it the second biggest fish in the tank.
I had a naso and a blond naso about 3 inches die without a trace and then a small adult unicorn tang and now this larger blonde naso.
I have never seen any fish except the Fox Face ever bother this fish when he came to the tank. I never saw anything abnormal recently for the last month or so.
I originally thought this Fox Face was to blame from the first naso. That naso was in here a long time. I kept thinking maybe it just stabbed the naso by mistake but now all of the tangs have one thing is common and that is they are the last fish put in when they came to the tank. Only the first naso went in with the rest when I moved tanks.
I mean at this point I am not putting any tangs in the tank. The non tang fish that have gone in are all fine.
That makes me think it is another tang but then again it seems the fox face doesn't like new tangs. The lieutenant is so gently, never runs from the net and will almost let me pet him. He is just a nice fish that I have never seen bother anything in almost 2 years.
The yellow tang did contribute to the stress on my powder blue tang that died. He would barely let it eat.
The hippo is the tanks first tang. It usually or actually seems to chase the coral beauty sometimes.
At this point I am pissed and sad because the blonde naso was large and really pretty. I got one with perfect smooth scales. Again, I never ever saw another tang bother it.
I know it doesn't rule it out but that is what I didn't see.
