Captain Ahab got his whale!

How did you know you had one alex? I know you had some deaths but what signs should I keep an eye out for.

 

unexplained deaths + corals moving well across the tank + 2 fish dying for no good reason.

At first I thought it was my lavender tang moving frags but after he died it continued and then where frags were ending up became very localized. Also spending 4 hours a night reading 4-5 saltwater forums helped give me a decent background on random coralvores that eat fish as well.

 

Very good to know. I've had some of the same things happen

 

Any clams dead?

 

will these euclid worms kill fish... my buddy had what we thought was a bad bristle worm... it killed hit 6line and thats when it was time to go.. so he pulled out the rock and did the same soaking it in ro... it crawled out of the rock and he got it in a jar of RO but that joker was fine in the jar for a week!! theyre impossible to kill

 

they kill fish far bigger than them. I used RO water and kalk paste to try and get that worm out and it just shrugged it off.

 

just watched the video... that thing was gnarly!!!!! bet that was a huge relief!!

 

man I was so pumped. The last year had been pretty dissapointing with losing clams and so many stonies. When my tang died in july and I lost a few of my big zoa colonies I was pretty down. Bagging this guy really signaled a resurgence of my passion, and my poor back account its in shock.... I may need to QT it.

 

In the last 2 years I lost 2 Heniochus, 4 zebra dart fish, Naso tang, Sleeper Railway Glider Goby, Green bubble tip anemone, On the verge of loosing two Rock anemones. To many to count. Perhaps I have the same issue. Water parameters always test correctly. Maybe I need to look into building a trap.

Great catch by the way.

 

I build an awesome trap, but it was far larger than I thought it was and no way would a trap have worked.
