hey I’m new here. I have a 750 gallon tank. Had 33 fish and now down to 21. Something has been killing my fish in the last couple months and I can’t tell who the killer is. I suspect it might be my giant remora (almost 2.5 feet)...anyone have experience with these?

That is an awesome list...it reads like a who's who of high end marine fish and sounds like a saltwater JDM tank. I have my suspicions as to who the suspects might be...you do have one of the most aggressive saltwater species listed lol...Do you have any photos of your tank?
I think the remora might be the killer but I have no evidence. He’s just a food hog and my fish that have died all have been super healthy with no signs of injury. Then boom...dead and half eaten when I get home!
I know I have an aggressive tank...in fact, people have nicknamed it “Thunderdome.” Lol...that said, I’ve never in my 6 years of doing this experienced a string of losses like this.
