Well yesterday morning I noticed that I couldn't find my blennie hidding in his normal places in the rocks...I searched the entire tank. Even when feeding yesterday afternoon I thought for sure that he would have showed up by then, but there is still no sign of him.
I've searched all around the tank and can't find any signs that he decided to commit suicide, and I've yet to see any signs of a dead carcas in the tank. Anyone have any ideas of what could have happend? He was there on Sunday afternoon, but gone as of yesterday morning (Monday). Is it possible that the hermit crabs could have devoured him that quickly if he died?
Is it possible for a large BTA to have eaten him if he got too close? The anemone is ~10 - 12" across, and the blennie was ~ 4" x 1" in diameter. The anemone was completely open yesterday morning, and his hosting clown was there as well; I assumed that if he had eaten him it would have been closed up while digesting him.
I'm going to keep looking this afternoon when I get home, but in the mean time does anyone have any ideas? I wasn't aware that blennies were jumpers, but anything is possible. I've had this guy for ~8 months and no problems or signs of fighting between him and other fish, so I don't know what could have made him jump if he did.
Thanks,
Eliyah
