I know that stars are not good with trigger fish, but I had a CCS in that same tank with that same trigger for 2 years and never had a problem. I have heard that they aren't reef safe. I just have some live rock and plants in there. The old star grazed on algae from the rocks all the time and...

Thank you all for your advice. I don't think I'll be having too many problems from now on. Unfortunately my trigger fish devoured the new CCS last night. Poor little thing was spread all over the tank. :cry: I guess the one I had last year was a little more hardy against the fish attacks. I am...

Thanks for the advice Tim. I think that I am going to transfer a few of those to another tank to give them all some more room. I change about 1 gallon every day when cleaning out the uneaten food in the evenings, and then do a 5 gallon water change once a week. You're right about them possibly...

No, I don't have any other corals or inverts in the tank to be missing. I don't think the star attacked any of the fish that were dead because he wasn't moving around a lot and was in the same general location of the tank that he was in last night. Just roaming around the rocks eating algae. I...

Will do. I have had the kit for some time so maybe the chemicals aren't as accurate as they used to be. Please let me know if the star expert you PM'd has any info on the posibility of the CCS having bothered the fish I lost. Thanks for your help.

Yes I tested the water. Ph: 8.2, Alk: 2.2milli equivalents/liter, Ammonia: .10ppm, Nitrite: .05ppm, Nitrate:.8ppm. I'm not a big chemistry buff but I've been using this kit for a long time and those readings are pretty normal for what I usually get.

Here is a pic of the lizzard fish. I'm not sure what their scientific name is but they are pretty hardy fish and have been fine for 3 years until now. My water levels and temps are all within normal ranges and I don't have any cucumbers or anything like that...I am really stumped about this...

My adult CCS died a year ago, so I decided to get a new one. I just introduced a new CCS to my tank. I've had the tank for 3 years and haven't had problems like this before. The new CCS was brought in yesterday and is doing just fine, however I woke up to find my Spotted Mandarin, Yellow Fin...
