I've been watching a certain scopas tang for 6 months. He was perfect for my 55g dt system and i picked him up on Saturday. After acclimation he was great, came out to eat, established in 30 the pecking order with the tiny yellowtail damsel which is the only other fish in the tank. This morning he was swimming in the open, at lights on at 1130am i didnt see him, and thought nothing of it. by 330pm i was worried and found his dead body behind the rocks under a low arch.
Why did he die? my levels are great, sps and lps thriving. My only inverts are a tuxedo urchin, pom pom crab, and a small black brittle star (CuC of snail of course) His corpse was not mangled in any way, fins intact. for flow and O2 i have an overflow and sump with refugium of about 15 gallons and due to size a large reef octopus HOB 110-F with two korillia 3s and a nano as well. I dont think O2 levels would be an issue but flow back there might be low. Thats my only assumption.
