I'm not entirely sure, tho our tank sat for months with just the 3 fish (in 120g) a coral beauty, small foxface and a clown and then 2 weeks ago we added 6 tiny chromis and a mandarin, could have triggered it. One of the chromis was wounded a couple of days ago and went MIA sooo.... maybe? The tank is nearly 2 years old, I would have thought it would handle it better but who knows... I've got at least 2 giant cukes in there, maybe one kicked it?

*so far* tonight I see everybody but the mandarin still swimming, it's still suuper cloudy but we did a 35g w/c. I'll have to post pics.

So how are things ? That looks like my tank some time ago after someone dumped some stuff in the tank just add some red coloring, but I lost everything. No clams or such ? I'd go with the cucumber theory. Hope all is well.

Did it just go cloudy like that all of a sudden? Do you run a skimmer or carbon?

That almost looks like something spawned in the tank.

Good luck!

Ya, that isn't from a chromis going missing!! Either some bacterial bloom or as Tony mentioned, a spawning.
