    2 weeks ago I added a Lawnmower Blenny, a sixline wrasse and a light footed sally to my 75g tank. Already had 2 maroon clowns, hippo tang, 7 hermits and about 25 snails. Last time we seen the Lawnmower we 1 week ago. He looked very healthy and was eating (looked like a dog chomping on the live rock) Now we cannot locate him anywere. Have 100# of live rock but I have it spaced out where I can see pretty much everywhere inbetween the rock. Would the light footed sally have gotten a hold of him??? We do have a top on the tank so jumping would not be the reason we can't find him

    Sorry about that dude. I cannot find mine either. Been missing for a week now. I have a feeling he is cleanup crew fodder (mine, not yours).

    Sorry for the loss - I actually purchased one a few weeks ago myself and was a lot smaller than I expected. I have a decent amount of algae that i let grow in strategic spots for it to eat and it is doing fine - actually beginning to grow and even eating prepared foods now. I would be pissed if it suddenly disappeared too - K+

    I have a Sally Lightfoot and a Lawnmower blenny and they leave each other alone. I have seen the crab go after fish food though so I know they arent above eating meat.
