I posted this question in another thread but i think fell through the cracks. Just wanted some advice on my tomato which i've had for four years and two tanks. now i've never seen him do this till just the other day. one of my emeralds was just coming out from under one of the rocks when the tomato saw him half the tank away. he proceeded to swim towards him. i thought to just check him out and then all of a sudden it was a full on beat down:nutkick:. now my clown is pretty big, so it was kind of unfair. he even pick him up in his mouth then spit him out and continued the onslaught. i did not want to but i had to scare him off.
now my question is, my tank quite bare as far as clean up crew due to a crash in my tank. should i try to restock? my fear is that he will do this again to other inverts(clean up crew). i also read that they eat small inverts which for some reason i've never seen anything on this before. maybe selective reading or something. but they are supposed to be reef safe right, as for a clean up crew? i have had hermits disapear before, could it of been him?
