Default Stuck Fish; Now There All Stuck and Dead!! HELP!

Anyone ever had there fish get stuck in the rock work?
At least I think that is what happen, I put some food in my tank and couldent find the coral beauty. Looked for a while and Found it wedged backwards in a hole in the rock. I don't know if it died and the hemit crab pulled him in there or he got stuck and the crab got him.
He looked like he was doing fine yesterday eating fine and swiming normally, I don't know what happend.

Pretty nasty looking but here is a couple of picks:

If he was head first I'd think maybe he got stuck,
But tail first I got to think something's dragged him in.

I got a fish stuck in a cave that narrow in the end.. the top fin pop up and unable to get the fish out. I even took the rock out and shake it still no luck. After 1hr of fighting it and gave up. Put the rock back upside down....the next day woke up with the fish swimming around

actually the fish survived and since that accident happen his behavior changed.. He became very aggresive fish and end Up I need to give it away after 2 months of harrasing Sand shifting goby.. with top of the tail gone from the fish chomping on it and my Porcupine puffer hiding in his cave almost 10hrs a day.
