    k+ if they jumped the cat could have taken out the evidence.. i dont think he actually traped them from the tank.
    i imagine you could have a mantis shrimp, a crab, or some other living thing in that tank you dont know of..

    i agree with gexx, at night take a red flash light and look around for anything suspicious.. ( i would be worried about your blenny as well if you have something in the tank)

    You have a hitchhiker eating your fish, most likely. I would guess a mantis, judging by how quickly so many fish disappeared.

    Get some red saran wrap, and put it over a regular flashlight to make it red, and look in the tank at night.

    Thats crazy if a mantis could be stuck on/in a piece of live rock without seeing it. But I suppose there have been crazier things.

    Not really, it's fairly common with aquacultured rock, or any rock with lots of small tunnels.
