Sorry to hear! I dread losing any of my big fish and wouldn't wish it on anybody. Hopefully you are able to continue in the hobby, most can understand if you don't. Dealing with loss is tough... my sympathies..

So sorry to hear of your loss Ruth! You had some magnificent fish. I was so hoping to one day see those beauties in person.
If there is anything we can do...

That is the most frustrating thing that can happen and the only thing that seems to make sense, usually makes you more angry. It's going to be very hard to get over, but you will, and soon it will make you a better reefer....even though you are way down there right now. Hang in there Ruth!

Your 100 gal reef looks great,so don't stop now. If my 3 angels went I'll just replace them. Keep on Reefing !

Not as simple as that due to the cost / rarity of the fish Ruth lost.

How is the rest of the tank recovering Ruth?

Seems to be OK. I recovered the bodies of all with the exception of the Goldflake and he was the smallest. I am skimming really wet right now and I have a BK 500 on this tank so it is doing the job. All inverts and the 3 remaining fish look OK although the anemones are a bit shriveled. I am not getting any ammonia or nitrite reading and my nitrates have always been fairly high in this tank (just due to the fish that were in it).

Yeah the cost of replacing those fish is over $3500 so it won't be happening any time soon even if I could find them.
