This morning I woke up and saw my HS crab on his back still kickin'. I turned him over and he started going around the tank (not w/ his usual spunk), then went to the corner and just sat (didn't bury himself as usual). then I noticed his tail was missing? I saw the angel pickin him up, actually pickin him up off the sand a few inches w/ his mouth, but I don't think he has the jaws to break off the HS's tail. Only one fish could be the culprit....DogFace!
Which is weird cause he pays no attention to anything except my fingers and his silversides. Maybe I'll find out more when i find the rest of the tail?
