    I came home today and my two 6 month old clown fish were gone. Not a trace of them. they were about 1 1/4 inches long. I put a lawnmower blenny in yesterday who is about 2-3 inches but I couldnt imagine him eating them. They were there in the morning too. I looked all over but i dont know where they could be.

    I'm gonna say its safe to think that your blenny didn't eat them.

    Sump? Overflow? Refugium? Behind a rock? Eaten by the CUC?

    I open the front lid but it is to high for those little guys to get out of. Someone is lying in my household i believe.

    did you get live or base rock? if live rock then after 2 hours of lights out, look in the tank with a red flash light. look around the tank i think one of them may have jumped. if they jumped the cat may have eaten them.
