    I had the same experince as you before. My fish just kept dying I added 5 fish in 1 week, water param were perfect. I eventually just gave up, I didnt add anything for 5 months. Then I started to add stuff again, and nothing died yet, and its been a month and half. Whatever sea monster were in the rocks, it probably starved to death since no food or light for 5 month.
    Thats just my guess, I still am not sure if there was really a boogeyman in the rocks.

    Bummer.... sorry to hear but it happened to me before too. Mine jumped out of the tank and I found them a few days later. But I would suggest to look under the rocks, maybe they are just hiding?

    That is some very good advice. If one jumped then the other one is going to hide. Do you know where they used to sleep at in the tank? If you do then the one remaining may go back to sleeping at that spot, just follow Gexx' tips.

    If you care about them, then keep looking! No point in giving up until you are absolutely sure.
