Who is my rogue ninja?

[evoIX_Reefer]

I just moved my system from a deep blue 30 to a marineland 70. It may have changed the personalities of my fish but I just dont know.

So here's stock list and length in my tank:

1 Yellow tang ~1 month
1 Hippo tang new addition
Pair of black ice - 1 year
Midas blenny - 1 year
Sixline wrasse - 1 year
Flame angel - 8-10months​

The known rogue ninjas or could turn into my stealth ninja would be the flame angel. I don't suspect him because my zoas are on about 2" disks and they are being flinged onto my sandbed off their rocks. I also had it for 8-10 months with 0 issues.

I really suspect my newest addition because of size and relation to timing but I've never heard of a sweet tooth Hippo?

Anyone have a clue which one I should look out for? I need to add a camera to determine which one is my problem.

Thank you!!

flame angel hands down

I really hope not because I have had bad luck with flame angels in the past just dying after 1 -2 weeks found in my for vortech pumps. No other fish dying.

First one to last well over that time frame.

I have a webcam on the tank now so I'll find out soon.

I got money on the flame angel. And the blenny is a close second. Bur if he is anything like my bi-color blenny, then it could be him.

Is it likely because of the new environment or they just go rogue? I may have lost my 30polyp Rasta colony which would suck.

Flame Angle for sure. And would get rid of the Blue Hippo as well, they eat and poop like pigs. He will definitely become a phosphate and nitrate problem with the bigger he gets, and they grow fast. http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+2971+330&pcatid=330 Tank requirement for Hippo, 180 gallons minimum.

I'll put money on either the six line (looking for food) or the clown fish, I had a clarkii that would toss anything new onto the sand.

Nothing onto the sand today. Of course when I film it.

The hippo will be fine until he gets too big. The size requirements are more for optimal needs if in long term and at x size. Its not a one size fit all.

Thank you for your concern. If I believe IT is stressing out or anything, I will let it go to a reefer with a bigger tank.

I never caught the rogue ninja but since losing my hippo to my Tasmanian devil son. I have not lost a single coral. Nothing is stressing and though it sucks losing a beautiful fish. I am glad I have some of my lost corals growing back from near death.
