    Default HALF BODIED FISH??

    so i get home from work at 7am, get ready for a morning jog and when i get back i decided to turn on the lights of the Aquarium and i find my self with something very interresting, one of my damsels that i have had for about 2yrs already is looking weird, only to realized after focusing on the fish that half of his body has be cut off or something. to the point to where the spine bone is still there and sticking out, what's left from the fish the edges are very smooth..... almost as if it was a straight fine slice of the fish and not mangled up.... i really don't know what could of had caused it, the fish is still alive, no guts are sticking out, i don't have any eels, on small damsels, small tangs, and well basically all the fish are his size and nothing predator like that could be way to big to cause such a big bit. as all the fish are all pretty much the same size.... the only thing that i can think of is the clam but even then it would of had been the rear part missing...... this is a picture of my fish..

    Holy cow! That is crazy! The only thing I can think of is if all the other fish started picking on this one for some reason.

    Do you have a powerhead? Maybe some inverts like a coral banded shrimp?

    Powerhead is a good idea. If it got sucked in there it definatley could have caused that. Good idea dmweise!

    what could have done that...

    ...maybe you have one of those monster worms hiding in your tank.
