Well that sucked a lot. Check on the fish once before bed and It is stuck to the eggcrate, I guess it fell asleep and then the flow pulled it up, I dont really know..... for give me for being naive. Anyways, tried to net him and i got him, started thrashing in the little net, i finally got it loose and it swam right into my 14 inch anemone, who then tried to eat him, I netted the fish again right before it got to the mouth, then it swam to the other corner of the tank under some rocks where I can just see its tail, Breathing really heavily, I cannot get to the fish tho.
Im assuming its dead, which really sucks, best looking fish ive ever had. between the spill and the mystery wrasse gone this day sucked...... as far as fish related problems go. Also i know it could be worse, but just sucks to lose a brand new fish. Thanks for the input anyways Tony.

I had the same problem with things getting into my overflow. So the solution was to cover the overflow with eggcrate and then lexan covering the eggcrate. Now nothing can get into the overflow (just enough room for water and air exchange). It also helps quiet the noise of falling water.
In the last year I haven't had anyone jump onto the overflow cover either...

The wrasse is doing well! looks very timid right now, scared of everything, but last night was crazy, i was sure he was a goner, was not moving, not doing anything just incredibly laboured breathing. Also it looked like he was stuck in the rocks too. But i am very pleased, I had walked down to tell my wife about what happened(I know 100 is not crazy expensive for a fish, but my most expensive fish purchase so far) and she had no clue about the prior nights events, she is all happy and tells me he is swimming around, I did not believe her at first, then i saw him!!!
Good morning.
