I lost a (very expensive) chevron tang recently. He was very healthy, eating well and showed no signs of trouble until I found my brittle star eating the corpse. My tank has been healthy and successful for a couple of years now.
I recently added a 2nd pump to my system to run a new skimmer and it is running my tank temp up to 85 degrees. The temp has been elevated for a few weeks now. Could that be the cause?
Could the brittle star have killed it?
I am usually pretty good at keeping fish healthy. I also know that the cause of death is many times hard to pinpoint.
Does anyone think it could be temp or the brittle star?
