Actually I have discovered skeletal remains of fish before when tearing down tanks. Not enough to ID but a vertebrae here and a rib there. Not much eats that. One a high note often wrasse assumed dead will pop out of nowhere weeks or months later.

That's too bad.
Did it always have a black tail like that? That's unusual for a carpenter.

Well sorry that it ended like that , but at least you gave him a shot. I didn't see if you mentioned if you had a screen top or not, but if not its a good idea.
Sorry for your loss. [emoji53]

eh it happens. he was a top-tank swimmer though. I was actually contemplating if he would jump sometimes.
no screen. just a canopy. if i were to rectify the situation it would be to put an acrylic wall on the back side of the canopy.
i plan on getting a lower-risk wrasse like a leopard in the future. my melanarus wrasse is nothing like that carpenter.
