Well, yesterday I came home from work, and went on my routine tank check. When I looked into the 75 gal, I noticed something that would have been funny if it wasn't so sad: One of my female bettas had her head stuck in a coconut hole.
After gently tugging and tugging, all the while pooring half a bottle of stress coat onto the betta for lubrication and comfort, she finally came free. Her upper body and head were brown, and there was a large gash on her stomach and neck. I put her into a cheap little betta container that I use for small acclimations, etc, added a drop of melafix and some stress coat, a few plants, and hoped for the best. This morning, she was dead.
RIP, girl. I would have named you if I could tell you apart from your other blue friend. Here's the only pic that I know was really her, in the emergency wing at the fish hospital.

. By the way, Anaerobe, is that your betta? He's stunning!
