    Does this mean he is dead?
    I'd hate to have to move around rocks but if i have to i will. I've only had him for about a week. 2nd fish to the tank. Ammonia hasnt jumped so i'm guessing he's not dead. LFS fed him brime shrimp and thats what i add to the tank i never actually saw him eat but i did see him twitch once when i fed them eralier this week.

    I set up a camera, hopefully i'll be able to see some movement. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem and what the outcome was?

    If he is dead and Ammonia is down your CUC is prime. He may be hiding. never had one just guessing. Good luck!

    Oh my, the marine center sas price is pretty high. out of my range. Luckily i got my green clown on sale for 8.99... What do you do when you cant find your fish that is known to hide? Assume it's alive?
