    well i have had him about a year and a half and just found my CUC chowing down on him. Everything is pretty stable in my tank and dont have any predators that could have got him while he was sleeping unless a bristle worm could have. he was about 3" long and ate regularly. Maybe not enough pods or something? Any ideas?

    Mine just died two days ago. Completely out of the blue. After not seeing him since last thursday I was getting worried. Two days ago I found him floating in the water column completely lifeless. The fact that he was floating in the middle of the tank was weird unto itself but I inspected the body and I don't see any reason as to why he would have died. his mouth was even closed.
