Eye Pecker

[GonnaNeedABiggerTank]

Yesterday I bought a beautiful Juvinille Potters Angel minutes after being in the tank he was already grazing on algae sheets.This afternoon I got home from college and i found him dead with his eyes pecked our of his head. In the tank I have two Phantom Clowns, A baby Labouti fairy wrasse , a supermale Lueteovittatus fairy wrasse who is usually nasty to newcomers although he was not to the potters that i observed last night, a Longnose Hawk, and a female pink pencil wrasse. Does anyone know who could have been the culprit or what possibly occured. Really bummed out about the Angel, such a beautiful fish.

Maybe died and critters got to it: worms, crabs, hermits ect

Agree with thirty6. Eyes are soft and easily accessible by scavengers.

Gotcha because the rest of the body was untouched i guess thats what it was.

Sorry for your loss. I have a blue line flasher wrasse with one eye. He lost in in a friends tank, and was getting beat up so he gave him to me. He has adjusted pretty well to my tank and its pretty cool to see the muscles in his eye socket move.
