Sorry to hear about your lost, I lost a 7 year old yellow tang from my tank transfer. He is one of my first fish that I added into my first saltwater tank. I was rather angry at myself, he was like a family member. I hope your little guy went quick without any suffering.

Thanks guys .

The tank has been going through some major changes over the past few months (With Devan buying my portion out). Both of the cleaner shrimp disappeared and Devan purchased a new wrasse that ensured the tank was shrimp free. In addition to that a major portion of liverock was removed & the tank went through a mini cycle. More new fish were added & Flash got Ich, I got the call yesterday that he was in pretty bad shape. He passed by the morning.

I'm pretty choked right now, I'm also pretty baffled how such a healthy fish could get taken down so fast with no other casualties. Grew the little guy from 2" right up to 7.5"+, I keep telling myself its just a fish but he was more than that...

This hobby is tough some times.

Its been pretty tough, I'm still really confused how only he was affected and everyone else is fine but that's reefing for you I guess.

Thanks for the works guys .
