Thanks but the mystery continues....I moved every pice of rock and pulled everything out of the back of the tankgot my L>E>D flashlight out anf gave everythinga real good look again today....but no luck........tank parameters are still doing fine .......either I have and amazing set of hermit crabs in my CUC or this clown beamed up to its home world
As a result of all the chaos my poor yellow watchman has gone into hiding and only comes out briefly for food and a dirty look.....Can gobies give you attitude?

Do you have a cat or dog or something that could eat your clown if he went carpet surfing?

Default Clown found.....alive safe.....sort of

K so mystery is soled as to whereabouts.....it would seem my little clown has found a place in the return area in the backof my tank....I know i said I looked there but this guy has decided ths space between the plastic liner on the inside of the tank and the exterior(?) wall is the place to be. I only lucked out and saw him swim by the water level windo when I checked iot tonight or I may have gone days thinking it was toast.
Now I have to figure out how to get him outa there....I keep you posted.

That's what I thought! Hope he's ok. I used a really small net and just went fishing, got him after about a dozen swoops in!
He looked really happy to be home and ate like a pig too!

Further update....Clown fish still not caught..I'm out of ideas any attempt sends it into hiding.
As for the tank itself
salinity is up to 1.025
all other tests remain consistant with nitrates and nitrites now both down to zero s0at least that is going well. Using distilled water straight from the lab has worked wonders here

I did find a Coral-eating nudibranch in my tank. Identified it here
http://www.peteducation.com/article....articleid=3354

since I found the first one I have removed 4-5 much smaller ones from the tank
any ideas on how to rid myself of these without using chemicals? Everything in the tank seems very healthy and I don't want to mess this up.

I guess its time to ask a couple more questions.

With what I have listed in my sig what do I need to suppliment my tank with to keep the corals healthy?
What inverts would be safe with the dwarf lion fish...He is very small now but won't stay that way I realise.

I would like a cleaner shrimp ond/or or types of shrimp but don't want to add them just for them to be food.

Also I would like some feedback on how I have stocked this tank so far. Does anyone see any glaring problems? All my tank parameters are still testing consistantly
salinity 1.025 ( got a refractometer now)
Ph 8.23
nitrates/nitrites 0
temp 79-82 depending on time and temp of day

I'm working on pics and will post them soon
