There is no substitute.
About a month ago I was sitting in a recliner next to my 465 gallon SPS tank, and I saw a flash of some activity in the tank in my peripheral vision. I turned my head towards the tank to see my beautiful Quoy's Parrot slam into one of the tank's metal cross braces above the water surface, then in a diagonal flash crash into a big acropora colony, breaking a piece off that was 3/4" thick, then sink to the bottom deader than a door nail. I got him into a specimen cup, tried holding him in a current, etc, but he was dead. After about 15 minutes of attempted fishy CPR, I called the Code off.
I miss him. Easily the prettiest fish in the tank. Great dither fish for my powder blue tang. Always getting chased, but never caught. Used to attack the front glass every night. The poopingest fish I have ever had in a reef tank.
Freaky way for him to go. I think he may have had a run in with one of the tangs low in the tank, and shot off at an angle that collided him with the tank cross brace.

Quoyis are one of my favorites! I saw a bunch of them while snorkeling in the Caribbean and they definitely get huge!
