PBT is MIA

[MadReefer]

Sadly, I have not seen my Powder Blue Tang in a few days. It was doing fine for a while so not sure what happened. Tank has a screen cover but sometimes when feeding forget to put back timely. If it jumed not in front or sides; back only has 1 inch gap between wall and I cannot see behind the tank and stand.

that sucks, i hate noticing a fish disappearing and not knowing what happened.

how stocked is your tank with clean up crews? snails, shrimps, hermits? in my experience, they can go through a whole fish that past away pretty quickly if they have the numbers in the tank. you'll probably only ever notice is if you see some cartilage get pushed somewhere you can see.

what?!?!?!?! huge fish disappeared????

 

[MadReefer]

I have have plenty of snails not to many crabs, a CBS and a Fire shrimp. I do have a few conch and serpent stars. I assume they took care of the carcass.
i don't see how it could of jumped without me noticing.

I think it is too big to jump. It could been bully and it’s hiding for a bit..

It fit right in when I got it a while ago. Don't know who would pick on it few months later.

I had a yellow tang jump out, would not have believed it if I hadn't found the dried up body in the morning. Of course it happened right before they closed down Hawaii, so too rich for my pocket book to replace it right now, It did get me to buy a lid though.

I have a lid but sometimes forget to move it back in place after feeding.

Any fish could jump. Also if you aren't qt'ing everything wet that fish probably died and got eaten up quickly.
