    I have been super busy with work the last 2 days but I got home today looking for my clown tang and its no place to be found and my tank is covered would a CUC completely eat up a 3" tang in 2 days?

    depending on how big he was and how big your cleanup crew was, yes.

    how big was your tank? Did you see anything behind any rocks or caves?

    It would be odd for a Clown Tang to hide. Was he eating good? Sometimes it hard for them to put on weight when they are small. Btw, that's one of the most aggressive sw fish I've ever owned.

    my tank is 75gal I recently upgraded my lighting so it might have stressed him ism. I have lots of hiding spots maybe he will come out tom.
    he was eating very well fed him every other day and was getting fat it did seem that he was getting aggressive towards my lawnmower plenty. I need to come up with a stocking list for my 200gal tank that's in the garage lol
