Puffer and the missing Damsel
My "aggressive" and reef tanks share a center wall. 1/2 inch glass with about 3 inches of space between water and top of glass.
Yesterday i found my 6 inch Spotted Puffer on the reef side, and my Domino Damsel missing! When i found the puffer he was just chilling in a corner, not chasing anything or acting weird at all. My question is can and would a well fed 6 inch puffer eat a 2 inch Domino Damsel? or should i start lifting/moving live rock to find a body/remains? |

A well fed puffer can still eat a 2-incher. It might not happen in days, weeks, months, or years, but there is always a chance of it happening at any time. I would separate the fishes.
Post pics of your GSP.

It's possible the puffer ate the damsel but the damsel might just be hiding from a potential predator. Put the puffer back into the predator side of the tank and see if the damsel makes a reemergence. If the damsel is still alive, it could take a while for it to come back out.
