So after I lost my clam....I lost my favorite fish. The female leopard wrasse. And the cause I believe was the RBTA. The RBTA moved to the other side of the tank and I when I found the LW she was underneath the RBTA at the base of the rock where the RBTA is now perched. She was curved, almost bent in half. Not a good week for reefkeeping for me.
 
that SUCKS!
I lost a pipefish to my RBTA two nights ago... :(
 
Thanks fishieness...it does suck. I like the LW a lot more than the RBTA becuase she is hard work. The GBTA seems to be happy and content. Sorry about your pipefish: did you have a dragonface or the stripe or another ?

It was a small African blue stripe that we had at work for some time and I got attached to the little bugger because I got him to eat cyclops pretty well and was the only one feeding him. I decided to take him home and new it would be a risk because my RBTA is quite large for such a small tank, but most fish usually know to stay away (my freaking clownfish know enough. haha) But I took home the pipe and he went straight for it... :(
How big was the comparison of the LW to the RBTA?
 
Fishieness-that is the odd thing, the RBTA was about 2x the size of the FLW and that is what made it so puzzling. I really like the pipefish and hope to have some once my fuge takes off with pods. Right now I have tons of amphipods which are easily making their way to the main display, but my copepod production is almost non-existent. I am sure that another pipefish or LW will cross our paths and at least now we will now some extra precautions. Tomorrow is another today.
 
Sorry to hear of your losses. I didn't realise how stressful it was having a BTA in a tank until I lost mine, and then I totally relaxed. It's amazing how the sub-conscious is constantly worrying about where the darn things are going to move to next and what they're going to eat/sting.!
 
well that stinks! I have only lost a chromis to mt RBTA..the maroon that hosts it scares everyone away lol

That sucks man. What kind of Leopard Wrasse was she?

I'd be really bummed if I lost my Bipartitus leopard Wrasse.

She was a Macropharyngodon meleagris...not the same a a Bipartitus, but still very special.
