Past Marine fauna
"Casualties of the learning curve". Here are some critters I had that are no longer in the tank for one reason or another
I don't miss the aiptasia. I finally got a butterfly to live. It also eats aiptasia whenever it can.
The Blennie was a pretty little fish, but I believe the Brittle star took it out one night
The brittle star and the coral banded shrimp were fun to watch, but when I noticed fish and other inverts disappearing, I had to take them back.
Frogspawn. The clown harasses every piece of frogspawn I put in the tank. Same problem with anemones. If you have seen the clown you probably understand. The watchman gobi was fun to watch. It didn't excavate under my rocks like I have heard they sometimes do. Unfortunately, it lived on the bottom with the brittle star and the lobster
I tried to keep a few pearlscales to take care of the aiptasia, but when they took out most of it, they were to timid to go after food like the other fish. I believe I learned the trick with my raccoon butterfly, too late for the pearlscales. I don't know what happened to the urchin. I don't know what they eat either. I watched it roam all over the tank, then one day it was upside down on the bottom.
