Ok so yesterday something weird happened....
last night i was looking at my fish tank (20 gal saltwater aquarium) and my big black damsel fish was hanging at the bottom of the tank (just like normal swimming) under a cave like formation of the live rock.
Now, for the longest time, there has always been a buildup of something directly under this rock..... I have just been thinking its just a dead spot of debris that the filter hasnt gotten...
but then this morning something weird happened... my biggest fish went missing without a trace.
and the closer i look now, i see a hole in the bottom of the live rock, right above where this fish was swimming last night... like the debris below was actually a mantis burrowing deeper!!!
did my fish get eaten by a mantis shrimp?!!! i dont hear any clicking, but then again i am normally pretty far away from my aquarium at night
PLEASE HELP ME!!
