    I guess I'm in the four clown club, too. lol I had an onyx perc and a pair of b/w clowns for several months and put in a BTA and it took them all out by the next morning. I'm fairly sure it wasn't in the best of health at the store. I bought it at a shady LFS and the guy actually tried to pry it off the rock with his finger nail because he didn't want to give me the rock for free. The only other loss was a GSM clown that got killed by its mate. Too much bugging. It killed me when the first happened, though. Three all at once, what a bad feeling and I lost a few corals to the incident as well.

    I have lost a powder blue tang to ich. I have had a randals goby and a sixline wrasse jump out of my tank, I've lost a lyratail anthias, a atlantic tang and a kole tang to gill flukes, and then my seabea anemone decided to sting my foxface. And a flame angel that was with me for almost two years just went poof one day. The sixline and the foxface were replaced but the others weren't ever reintroduced.
