    :( I'm 99% sure I lost my pygmy angel in the tank transfer. The angel seemed fine yesterday in the QT, was acclimated to the new tank, and was picking at the rocks last night. I've been looking for it all morning and saw my two starfish with HUGE disks...that only means one thing. The stars are not predators (they only eat stuff that's already dead) and have been in the tank for 5 years. The angel had been in there about 4-1/2. I can't imagine what happened, unless the angel somehow was injured. :(

    If you cant get your hands on the corps diagnostics is difficult. But stress alone can kill the more delicate species
