vanished fish

[Cherub]

So I bought a really pretty blue yellowtail chromis (not yellow tail damsel) a couple of weeks ago. I'd never seen a chromis so pretty. I did the quarantine bit then put it in my tank. It hid for 2 days then it was out all the time. My royal gramma was always chasing it and so was he bangaii cardinal to my dismay...

Anyway it's been missing for a week now and I cannot find it. I checked my nitrates and they are undetectable. I literally tore down my tank, mainly to get the gramma who was now biting my clowns. I took out every rock looking for this fish and nothing. I have the tank covered so it didn't jump out but I checked all around the tank anyway and nothing. I pulled out all of the rock in the sump and nothing...

If the gramma killed it can bristle worms eat it that fast to where there's nothing left?

ps $10 or a frag takes the gramma. He's not a social fish

When my spotted jawfish died, he was alive when I went to work at 8am and at 3:00pm the hermits had him half done

Blame the bristle worms! If my reefer knowledge serves me correctly, chromis are damsels (as are clowns). Could it be some butthole sold you a yellow tail damsel as a yellow tail chromis?
