Powder tang is gone
 
Well my favourite fish is gone. Can't find him at all, still saw him last night as i move my coral around. Today got home from work and i can't find him :-(

he is 3-4 inches. What should i do if i can't find him. My skimmer still operate normal. Should i have more carbon running?

have you tried feeding to see if it comes out?

Do a thorough check around the tank, fish can flop a fair distance :sad:. Lost my purple this way, I'm rooting for hiding in your rock work though.

1+I used to have a lobster in my tank and I saw him grab my copperband right in front of my eyes. Something like this could have happend to your tang. I also lost a clown tang but not sure what his fate was lol

ok found his body :-( sandwich between two rocks. I guess he was asleep when i move my stuff around and accidentally one of the rock fell on him. Lesson learn, don't move stuff around when the light is out. I hate this hobby

sorry to hear :( I lost my prized Borbonius this way too.. Put him in the FOWLR, he liked to hide in caves most of the time and didn't notice that one of the caves he was in collapsed on him. Was a few days before I noticed that he was trapped under there, meanwhile the ammonia spike took out a few other fish.. ya, like you said, love this hobby.. :sad:
