I have the following fish in my tank, and there seem to be some
casualties/attacks in it. What is doing this to them?
-2 x Three Spot Domino Damselfish
-2 x Three Stripe Damselfish (one of them is missing an eye this morning)
-2 x Blue Reef Chromis (one was killed two days ago, I saw the other Chromis
constantly attacking it's wounds before it eventually croacked. What
attacked it in the fist place?)
-1 x Fridmani Pseudochromis
-1 x Blue Tang
-a few red legged crabs
-snails
Thanks
Haig

Here's my guess.
> -1 x Blue Tang
I have a powder blue that's killed several fish. I finally bought three large
damsels at one time to confuse him. That was two or three years ago. It took him
a year, but he finally decided to concentrate on one and killed that one. A few
months ago, he decided to concentrate on another, but that one got smart. He has
a cave he stays in, and he never comes out long enough for the tang to get in a
good lick. The tang leaves the other damsel alone at the moment 'cause he's
laying for the one in the cave.
I also have a lionfish, but the tang isn't crazy enough to go after that.

Sounds like your damsels may be the cause. These little guys can be
aggressive especially with other damsels. I'd keep an eye on them.
