Am I not feeding them enough??

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

I used to feed my fish 2-3 times a day switching from flakes to mysis and then a veggie clip!!! Now I have switched to 1 time a day to also keep my water column cleaner and now I have a fish missing a chunk , I got my mystery wrasse tearing apart my cuc with blue claw hermit claws hanging out of his mouth !!! What is up with that!!!!! I have ten fish in a 57 rimless!!

2-3 times a day ? Thats a bit over feeding. I only feed once a day

If your fish were happy and healthy feeding 2-3 times per day and now they seem to be displaying different behavior I think you can answer your own question. I feed at least 2x a day if possible.

Really did you happen to think that for one moment that just because a fish is considered "Reef Safe", that it would not go after critters that is normally dinner in the wild?

Just because it's now in a tank doesn't mean that it still does not see a crab or shrimp as lunch.

You got a valid point as much as I hate to say that to you lol but it's something I never worried about and now I'm seeing it happen !! I think I'm going back to feeding twice a day cause everything was happy and now my new skimmer and cuc will handle leftover foods.
