missing fish

I just bought my 3rd watchman goby he was around 2.5 inches acclimated him with no issues he swam openly ate frozen food right away. Since this morning no where to be found, I have had two in the same tank in the past and they go missing. My stocking is 2x Ocellaris clownfish, Vanderbuilt...

I recently had everything in a 32 biocube but moved everything over to a 40 gallon breeder from aqueon because the biocube had a leak. I used new sand and new water and re used the live rock from the 32 gallon bio cube to get the new 40 gallon tank cycled. After getting the new tank cycled I...

Hello, The latest introductions to my tank are a hi fin banded goby and what was meant to be a randalls pistol shrimp. While the two have paired, myself and other reef keepers have decided its colours and patterns are much more tiger like — especially with how large it is. (I have attempted...

Recently purchased a yellow watchman goby and shrimp combo put them in the tank two days ago and haven’t seen them since. Only two days have passed should I be worried I haven’t seen them??? I know they have made a cave already! After adding them (two days ago) I got my water tested and my...

I purchased a royal dottyback and a six line wrasse in my tank along with some tangs and clowns i had in there before i added those 2. Noticed it went quick to hide as did the six line wrasse I bought it friday and maybe seen it saturday and haven't seen since I was told they go into hiding for...

Yellow Angel was perfectly healthy - lived months - disappeared and haven’t seen it ever again. Just bought an emperor Angel a week ago, was doing great and suddenly this am the emperor is nowhere to be found. Any insight?

Can't find my blenny in my 20g, i remember seeing him a little under a week ago and i haven't seen him since. I have a Possum Wrasse, Pearly Jawfish, and an Ocellaris Clown pair. Anything I can do to coax him out or any idea when i'd see them?

Hello fellow reefers! Recently added a small/med sailfin tang to our 125gal reef and within a few days it’s gone MIA. We’ve looked everywhere and moved some of the LR to see if maybe got stuck in the rockwork but to no avail. Are they known to be jumpers? If that’s the case it probably got...

Hi, Longtime lurker here! I noticed tonight my flameback angel is missing! I have a FOWLR with red legged hermits, banded trochus snails, a cleaner shrimp, 2 common clowns, 7 green chromis, a blue cheek goby, an orchid dottyback, a royal gramma and a 6 line wrasse. I don’t think it jumped...

In the past 4 weeks I have lost 3 fish, all of them between 2-10 days new to the tank. The first was a nervous dispar anthia, the second a gorgeous 1.5 inch coral beauty and 3rd was a 2.5 inch diamond sandsifting goby. The first possibly hid and starved to death. But the others were eating well...

Hi friends! I bought an azure damsel from my lfs two weeks ago now... he seemed happy healthy and vibrant until he went missing 3 days ago. His name was Azi and we miss him. I shifted live rock carefully and slightly looking for him, checked my overflow filter areas...looked around the ground in...

Been missing my Diamond Goby and Scooter Blenny for about a week now. Tank parameters have been good minus an alkaline spike to about 14 for 2 or three days, which only seemed to affect two plate coral and possibly a blood shrimp. I keep a top on my tank at all times unless I’m feeding them...

This morning I woke up to one fish in my tank. I have or had 2 clown fish but one is gone. It is a quarantine tank so there’s not very much in it. My filter cannot suck in any fish as well as as of the powerhead. Would it be possible for one clown to eat the other. I am so confused. I do have a...

I have had a biocube 30gal for about 5 years now and my fish disappear consistently. I have never found one even when I know it was there earlier in the day but isn't later in the day. I have looked up in the hood, the back in all 3 compartments, in the sand, under the rocks and have even torn...

45 gal mixed reef/ clownfish/ Dottybacks and goby I bought a pair of orchid Dottybacks a month ago, they had no problem until 3 days ago when one of them disappeared. 3 days ago I saw them both when I fed them in the morning but during the night feeding one didn't come out. This is extremely...

It's been three or four days and there's been ONE sign of him and then nothing. The only thing i haven't done is move some rocks to see if he died. There is seaweed for him and plenty of hiding spots. I'm very worried...

I have read online that royal gramma's were able to be captive-bred long ago, but I don't see them for sale (at least not with the specific label that they were captive-bred)? Also, I added a royal gramma a week ago. She seemed to be doing well on day 1 and 2, but has disappeared since. I...

I QT a watchman goby, added it to my DT, it was active and out and about for about a week then disappeared. I haven't seen her in about a month. When do I decide she died and got eaten by the shrimp? I did not get an ammonia spike that would indicate a dead body somewhere (and I do have a lid)...

Hey everybody. I have a 400 gallon reef tank and I just got three new fish for the tank and two of them have gone missing in less than 2 weeks. I got a solar fairy wrasse, hippo tang, and fire blenny (as well as a cowrie snail). The hippo tang and fire blenny are both missing and the cowrie...
