Sorry to hear Laurie. At 4 years he was in very small company. I lost mine very similarly, almost 3 years and just poof, one day he was gone, just like that. I was depressed for weeks, so I know how you feel right now!!

I know how you must feel. Mine passed away several weeks ago after a long while living healthy in my tank. They seem fine and then BAM! I'm never buying another one again. I really believe they're better left out in the ocean.

Thanks everyone, definately feeling a little depressed about it, not sure if I'll try another one or not as they have such bad track records Might try a file fish for aptasia control.

I was under the impression the filefish weren't reef safe?

Then again, my CBB ate 2 of my clams and left the 3rd alone like it didn't exist...

i dont think most are i only know of one, its the matted filefish and it still may nip at stuff so not sure if its labeled reef safe,but mine cleaned out my aiptasia and doesnt touch anything plus its well fed and will eat anything dropped in the tank ive had him for five or six months now

heres a pic of mine






although my aiptasia problem is gone in my display i took some newly aiptasia free rock and put it in my 33 and with in a week or two it was back, so i think it eats it because ive witnessed it but scares the rest from coming out again untill its safe or their hungry or who knows
