Thanks Doug and Lance...I'm still upset about it. People wonder why I tend to have lots of corals and few fish. It really bothers me to lose a fish. :cry:

Your RPE's are green too? Hmmm...weird.

yeah its hard to tell because mine are very small polyps but they are nice color red on the ouside but they have a green almost " halo " in the middle then a very green slit:) unfortunately ive never seen any large colonies in person just some small frags but all the pics i see online indicate that mine are different slightly, and after seeing your photo it looks just like yours :) i assumed they were red people eaters because they were red and had the slit but who knows lol:) they are still very beautiful:)

I totally understand.
When I lose a coral it makes me mad: losing a fish is different. I lost a fish last month, (first one in nearly two years) and it's still bothering me.

I felt bad enough losing a few new additions for unknown reasons with the Solana. I figure my current gang is going to be around a long time and of course I'm already very attached. Sorry to hear Mindy.

That really sucks that your perc took the dive. The whole reason why I got into reefs was for my mated pair. If they suddenly took a dive, I would be at a complete lost.

Your zoas look amazing by the way. Is there a specific product that you are using to feed them?

Your zoas are looking good, sorry to hear about the clown, it really sucks loosing a fish especially one you've had for a long time :sad:

Hmm, very unfortunate to lose an original critter like that, too bad, especially to carpet surfing. I have a Maroon female that's one of two fish I first added to my tank. The other original was a Blue Devil Damsel which I lost to some cancerous growth on its tail. Believe it or not, I was sorry to see him gone. Something about the first fish or two you add to a system, you get quite attached. My Maroon is now regularly producing clutches of eggs with her little mate and I can't imagine my tank without them. Not that I don't care about any of the other finned friends, but mama Maroon will always be a little special.

Only fish I've lost to carpet surfing was a lawnmower Blenny and I have a feeling it's because Maroon would take a little run at him from time to time. She may have surprised him enough to make him jump I figure. A lone clown leaping out of a tank is unusual. I imagine you'll be looking for another?

I won't be looking for another clown for this tank since I already have clowns in my 90. I'm not sure what to add with the Blue Assessor.

Thanks for the comments on the Zoas. I don't feed the tank anything except fish food. I dose 0.75 mL Zeovit Coral Snow once per week.
