I lost a mystery wrasse and a foxface today.
Both have been in quarantine for 6 weeks or so because the wrasse had developed a white *bump* on his belly. It was going down in size and both fish ate quite well... at least twice a day, sometimes 3x a day... a good variety of foods, clean tank, good flow, stable params...
and yet, both dead, for no apparent reason as the white bump that kept them in quarantine for an extra few weeks had gone away this weekend and I said to myself - I'll just give it a nother week before I put them in the big tank...
Also noticed 1 coral completely RTN'd overnight... it was about 4-5" across. 2 more corals are looking like they are ready to go as well.
Bah. But, I am still gonna get my bigger tank setup and keep my chunk of the ocean going... even though I am a bit upset with it all today.
