OK so I'm now concerned that I've got something killing my smaller fish and inverts. I've lost 2 wrasse, scooter blenny, pink spotted goby, both Harlequin shrimp and and a cleaner shrimp. All of them sleep in the sand or spend the majority of the time near the sand. Its not like anything was sick or not doing well, in fact everything has been eating, swimming and acting normal then the next day something will show up missing. The wrasse have not jumped but I've never found a body either. Last year when I changed out my sump I found eunicid worm in it so I'm concerned I might have on in the DT. If I do what the best way to catch and get rid of this worm and what else could it be that's preying on my poor livestock? Thanks in advance for your thoughts
Something is killing fish and inverts

I had the same problem couple weeks ago. I kept losing all small fish when everything was normal in my tank. One night when I just randomly turned on the light in my room to find stuff (tank was in my room), I walked by the tank and saw a big eunicid worm going around on the sand bed. I figured out what happened to my all small fish then. I put all corals into the small 10 gallons tank with HOB filter and took everything out of my tank. I found it, and it was like almost 1 foot long. I gave away all my corals, and I have been placing all the rocks in the backyard under the sun. I am working on the stand to move the tank out to the living room now and start over. I will be more careful with what I do this time. I just wonder where and why all types of the worms occur in reef tank???
