Hi, i need some of your thoughts here. Here is the story

My flames angel has disappeared for two or three days now. So today, I carefully removed rocks and coral to see if he is still alive. He is no where to be found.... :-(. I checked around my tank to see if he jumped out, nothing.

He is 3 inch and I can't come up of what happen to him. Here is what i have

7 inch bubble anemones (fully extended)
couple frogspawns and firetorch
2 branded shrimps
long spine urchin
couple snails and hermit crabs

I checked my filter and everything, and can't find him. Any thoughts?

I've had fish hide inside holes in rocks before but if you've checked them all then there's a chance that it died and your clean up crew ate him. One of my small clown fish went missing last week as well. I've looked all over the place and couldn't find him. Haven't seen him since.
If you have a sump and there's no mesh protecting fish from jumping into the overflow then you could check inside your sump. If you have filter socks you might want to check in there too. <-- Opps you said you checked this already.

Do you have any cats? Just a thought.

I had a purple firefish and a goby hide in the rocks for weeks once. One day there they were there.

Maybe your wife decided it had to go too.....:mrgreen::mrgreen: jking

Maybe... lol. Anyway, i have no cat, no sump, no overflow... have a very basic setup.

Can myclean crews eat him that fast? in 2 days? But how did they kill him?

I have had a few fish go missing and the other day I found bird **** beside my tank. Things that make you go HHHMMMMMM.
Maybe having the window open is not a good thing.:lol::lol:

You be supprized how fast a cleaning can make fish bodies disappear. exspecailly the more agressive blue knuck hermit crabs.

[Marlin65]

Not a 3 plus inch fish.

[ALBERTA REEF]

When you have 10 blue knuck hermit crabs ranging from 1-2" It will. :lol:

[Marlin65]

Yah that would do it I keep mine in the 3/8" range or less. Evil Crabs:twised:

Although it is kind of sad seeing him gone, but the most important thing is what if he is dead and some how his body stuck in the rock or something. Will that makes water bad just like fresh water?

Tell me about it. One of my buddies gave me two hermit crabs. Found out later that thay where nothing but a manness. So started a tank for them allone. They fought. I have one now that is size of tennis ball. He can eat a 1-2" dead fish in a couple of hours. Lesson learned. BEWARE OF FRIENDS BEARING GIFTS. :lol:

[ALBERTA REEF]

It can. When thay are hungry enough. What tip of hermit crabs are they?

Blue knucked hermit crabs. I don't see them being the problem. My thinking is that your flame angle past away, fell between the live rock and your cleaning crew did its job. Sorry about your loose, at least you known your cleaning crew is up to par. I looked at your tank tread. Nice tank! :

[Coleus]

hmm I don't know why it pass away like that without any illness sign. Oh well, we move on :-) Thank you for your comments.

Your welcome. Fish are funny that way Heath, full of energy oneday and gone the next. Angles are tricky. One thing I can suggest is to monitor your tank in doing a fish counter everyday. Maybe check your tank in the middle of the night with moon light on to see if anything has hitch hiked in the past week.

Maybe the bubble ate him first off and the others just finished him off. I have heard that flame angels can just up and die as well. Sorry he is gone though it sucks when the just vanish.

Yes, it really sucks when it happens like that.
