Nemo is DEAD

It was a sad day. My first ever SW fish dead. Not sure why though the funny thing is I had checked all params at like 4 waiting on the Mrs. to do her makeup and everything was perfect, I mean dead on, which was good. We went out to eat with the family and when we got home around 6 BAM!!! there's Nemo floating on the top. The funny thing is no coral was closed or anything and all other fish seemed fine. His fins were a little nipped at but that could have been after the fact. So my only conclusion is homicide??? Possible culprits could be any of the co-inhabitants listed in my sig, and I had noticed the Tomato bullying him a little but I chalked it up as harmless (stupid). Or is it possible Nemo tried to inhabit the Bubble Coral and it stung him? I hope thats not it (poor little guy). Anyways besides solving the mystery I am in a personal debate about whether or not to get any more fish or just keep things the way they are. If I do decide on another fishy I would love the help of my fellow 3reefers to decide the species. So with all that being said any Sherlock Holmes or aquatic matchmakers are free to chime in.

 

my guess would be the tomato clown. hard to keep two diff type of clowns in same tank, all though your tank is big enough where it is possible, just hard to do.

 

Sorry for your loss. I would say it could be the tomato clown, as i've heard they are nasty not to just clown but other fish sometimes. just my two cents. I've wanted to keep two types of clowns in the 180g and 95% ppl said goodluck. I was able to do this a few weeks ago as i bought a set of blk & wht ocellaris clowns and at 1st the orange and white ocellaris clowns allowed them to share the lta with them and 5min later they stayed there welcome too long and both were very angry and the little guys learned there leason after 15min they this was not there home. The old clowns i noticed when feeding would only travel to the middle of the tank and never went to the left side. so the blk/wht went to the other side of the tank and found my bta that is 20in couldn't miss it haha. I know I was told that if they are all added at the same time success is greater. but i think the lta saved me in the situation. again my 2 cents and story.

 

This was my first guess also. Its funny cause when I first introduced the TC to the tank the two swam around together like buddies. Then after about a week the relationship bitterly ended
