sucks to see a 400 dollar loss with no solid evidence of a reason.

I've had mine for just over 2 yrs, they are really entertaining. Boy they sure have climbed in price, though not cheap back then either.

The place I got them from is reputable and I don't think it is something that they did or are aware of if it was cyanide. The only other thing that i could see that would be a problem would be low oxygen, but that would be for the 2nd one as the first one that was defiantly not the case. Looks like I will never know what really happened.  But then that is part of the risk we pay for having a hobby like this. I really wanted one of these, but don't think I will try a third.

This is the worst part of this hobby… The “so why did it die?”
I had a yellow-head jaw fish several months ago that one day darted to the back of the tank and I never saw it again. I will never know what happened… I can’t keep bubble coral. Not in my nano, or my 55. It just dies, every time. I understand your frustration… I'm really sorry about your blue spots. -Pauli

Looking at your location, I would guess it was the nearest of the LFS to you that you purchased it from?
I shop there frequently and am always very careful when selecting livestock. There is a small possibility that you have terrible luck and these 2 fish were either at the end of their life cycles or underwent significant stress before you gave them a good home.... I hate these reef mysteries and it's rough to lose such cool fish and not know why even aside fromt he monetary cost. Good luck on putting this puzzle together.

I had one of these on hold at JL, it was the last one of their previous shipment and it jumped out of their tank the night before I went to pick it up.
I took it as a sign, as my 72 is open top all the way.
