Where did my clown go?

[Brewmaster]

This morning I got up and no clown in the tank. I looked all over and no clown.

I have a 72g bow front with assorted soft corals, mushrooms and a large BTA(about 8").

Is it possible that the large BTA ate the clown that was hosting it?

Do you have an overflow?

 

[Brewmaster]

No I dont.

Check behind the tank. I've found a few fish behind mine

That happened to me the other day. It took me 15 min to find him. He was in the top corner of the tank sleeping. I couldnt see him behind the tank frame.

Hope for hiding, but if it's not hiding, you may have a carpet surfer. Is there a pet that may have concealed (eaten) the evidence? Good luck finding it.

 

[Brewmaster]

Nope, no pets

Carpet surfer? meaning dead in the sand or what?

Carpet Surfer usually means that the fish jumped out and landed on the carpet.

I have had a clown disappear for a day or 2 and then just show back up.

Keep looking and good luck.

I have hard wood floors and no fish anywhere

So, no chance the BTA ate it?
