Hi
I have a 75 gallon tank with a clown, 2 anemones, coral beauty, dwarl fuzzy lion, 3 cardinals and 2 gobies.

Last week I added the two anemones and the dwarf lion. Since then I have lost a flame angel, 3 fire gobies one of them jumped out of the tank , and I lost to engineer gobies.

Any ideas of who is killing and or chasing the fish out of the tank.

Thanks

put some egg crate on the tank so they can't jump.

Most likely the lion. They should not be kept with fish that can fit in their mouths.

You didn't say what kind of anemones, but that seems too fast to lose fish to something which basically requires it's prey to swim right into it's mouth.

I fear your have 2 problems. You need a compatibility chart [try Foster/Smith's site.] And you need egg crate on that tank top.

Your lion is a predator, however minature. He will scare the daylights out of other fish.

Your fish list at first did not include the engineer goby [pl.] or the flame, or the fire gobies. Angels don't always get on with gobies, not all gobies get on with similar gobies, and clowns will quarrel with just about anybody near their anemone, but are highly particular about which species of anemone they house in. Anemones also will trap and eat small resting fishes. There are a lot of potential problems in that list. Visit Foster/Smith and find that compatibility list. That may help a lot.
