Ya I didn't intend to kill him (obviously) but I feel responsible for his death. I thought there might of been a chance that my mean trigger might go after him or maybe the toby puffer, but I never thought my eel would try to eat him or the freckleface hawkfish would suddenly relentlessly attack him
Then moving him to the other tank, and trying to help, only to fail miserably, and make things worse, has me feeling upset and depressed today.
Also feel extremely guilty for not taking the time to set up a 10g tank for him to recover in (however at 12:30am that seemed like a daunting task) or to (at least) have put an extra heater in the reef tank and turned off the return pump so he wouldn't get sucked to the overflow (didn't do the later cause I was worried about setting the temp right on a new heater and was worried that only one powerhead wouldn't be enough flow for the rest of the fish) guessing the effort of trying to pull himself off the overflow all night stressed him out and killed him. Anyway I can't help but wonder that if I had of done either, if he'd still be alive right now
