Bad Parent...fish MIA
Now i feel bad, didnt realize til last night that my Picasso Trigger is missing...must have been a few days now...no sign of him anywhere. I have been so busy with the corals the past few days that i didnt notice
 Hope i can find another one as nice as he was..Got him when he was very small and he never bothered any fish or corals.

Did you check the overflows/sump/refugium/skimmer/anywhere the fish might have traveled to?

If it's been a couple days, hopefully your clean up crew did it's job. Amazing how fast they can get rid of a dead fish. Sorry to hear it though.

My fish was gone a week and I checked everything but he was in the Overflow Box.... Got him out 2 days ago and he is fine... Shut the pumps grab a good light and double check. I happened to find him by accident because I was scoping out how to replumb my system and saw a shadow underneath....

I shut the sump pumps and let it settle then use a MAG type flashlight with a beam..

if he is in a overflow, he could only be in one if alive, cause the other one i removed the drainpipe the other day to adjust it resulting in all the water draining from it.
