Do I have a sushi eating predator that prefers em alive?
So this firefish had been hiding in his cave for 2 days and when he started to come out for food he had these horrible marks and a deep chunk missing. He is swimming and holding up well against the jerky clowns as well as eating now. What could have caused this? The markings are on both sides and are little dots in exception to the chunk. I have nothing in my tank other than peaceful guys and I would imagine if it was a worm or crab it would have to be huge to do that much damage before the fish swam away.

The only other thing I can think of is it got pinned magically in the rock work or the rocks moved while it was sleeping.
