Well as some of you all know I am in college now so I am unable to check up on my tanks. Well before I left I was having some big aiptasia issues and one of my remeddies was adding two filefish to my tank. Well the plan didn't go so well so I removed both and placed them in the sump until the weekend came up so I can send them back to the LFS. Well the morning came and I could only find One filefish. I looked everywhere and could not find him at the time I had snails and crabs in the sump so i figured it died and the CUC crew ate him up. SO I took the surviving one back and bought my 3rd CB(who is still alive and fat. The second one died from my yellow tang...really small cb) . Well I recieved a text a couple days ago that that filefish is still alive...IDK how but he is in my return chamber. Well he is going to have to wait a couple more weeks until I can make it out there to get him out. Well now that he is alive my dad can at least feed him

. Just thought I would share. Was one really surprising text lol.

That’s good to hear. Strange at times that they can find their way in there.

I had a Diamond Tail Flasher wrasse disappear for over 6 weeks. One day I was changing my filter socks and there he was in the sump. He must have been living in the overflow all that time and finally made the water slide trip to the sump. Glad he was ok even if you didn't end up keeping him.
