Heartbreak ...

I know it could be MUCH worse but our beautiful Solar Wrasse became a fish chip yesterday

Came home from work, did the normal tank inspection and was nowhere to be found

A quick look behind the tank and there she was ... I cant believe it managed to get out either as the tank has egg crating over the entire top!


So, now im in the search of a new brightly colored fish to replace her. Currently there is an Exquisite Wrasse in there which is a bit of a bully so I dont want to do another wrasse (plus the fear of another $80 loss)

Stock list right now:

Yellow Watchman Goby
Diamond Goby
(2) Osc Clowns
(5) Chromis
Kole Tang
Exq. Wrasse


Any ideas? I would LOVE a flame angel but I just know ill get a nipper ..

I like the Flame Hawk but I have gobies and a few shrimp -- apparently they dont get along too well

also, you might consider a canopy? I made mine, and I can put eggcrate over it if I choose to
You'll get more protection when the eggcrate is farther from the water, and you wont see square shadows either.

just a suggestion

-sorry for the loss
