Murderer on the loose

I can't see the whole fish, but that almost looks like it just died and then other fish nibbled on it. I just the fins nipped off, maybe some nibbling around the gills.
from what I've read if sharks are well fed they will be peaceful and mind their own business. If a trigger or puffer is well fed it still might decide to go on a killing rampage. I'd put my money on a trigger or puffer - no way to tell which though.
Your set up must cost tens of thousands of dollars - why don't you just set up a web cam and record it so you can catch it in the act, they're like $100.

Well, my string of losses started when I brought back my female crosshatch trigger from a rehab tank. She previously got her ass kicked by a sargassum I got. When she came back, it seemed like maybe she took revenge because 6 of my 9 triggers died within a month. But since then I’ve started losing other fish that previously got along with everyone, like my yellow and sohal tangs and now my blue face.
The reason I’m doubting it’s the crosshatch is because they’re not supposed to be huge *******s from what I’ve read. Also, I would think the dead fish would have signs of trigger bites. Instead my recent casualties (my blue face and my sohal tang) have been perfectly healthy (two of my most aggressive fish) and have died with no other signs of injury.
Well if you still have a rehab tank you can use process of elimination. Take the most likely suspect and remove him, if it continues try another.
