My flame scaloup was dead this morning, the was the ecto-plasma agian but there was still some red inside his shell like he had been ripped out I need to find whos doing this. Levels are fine salts fine I think I got a reef robber

Maybe died of slow starvation, and last night was just the last gasp of air...

and yeah when things die, all sorts of critters tend to go for the corpse to eat, so what you think might have been the killer probably was just scavenging from a dead body.

+2. I made the mistake of buying one on impulse when I first started my tank. Then, I read my Reef Invertebrates book and realized I made a bad choice, because they are very difficult to keep in home aquariums.
