Wild battles in my tank recently.
I lost two out of my three cardinals over the course of about 2 months. One I saw being eaten by a crab. The other I never saw a trace of. I also lost 4 fairly large chromis. I pulled one out. They all actually seemed a little inferior from the moment I put them in the tank. 2 of the three just sat in the corner for weeks. The other two were more active, just still seemed off. While the CUC seemed to take care of the one cardinal I saw being consumed, it's not a huge CUC. Maybe the nem got them all.
After doing plenty of research on nem care I decided to feed pretty sparingly. Primarily just letting his clown feed him. I read a lot about them regurgitating if you feed them too much. I think my nem is huge compared to the ones referred to in my research and just needs to be fed more often.
Two hours before I took this picture this cardinal seemed fine. I wonder, now, if the nem ate any of the others....
