    i once added a Flame Angel and it acted weird for a few days then I saw it being dragged for a quick sec and that was the last time I saw it. Your clean up I think got to it. Might have been the power outage or simply he was not healthy or simply the moving stress. Sorry

    It could be hiding even though you've moved the rocks around. I have a blue hippo that did not come out for 8 days after I got her. Not too long after that I moved some rocks around to re-arrange and trying to make sure I didn't smash her with a rock I tried to watch where she went. She managed to hide during the whole rock re-arrangement - didn't see her the entire time until I got done moving stuff and she came out.

    This may be a ridiculous theory, but is it possible that his BTA ate it?

    a RSM250 would have been too small for him anyway as he turned into an adult.

    i had a butterfly that would swim upside down and cling to the underside of a rock and then with in two days he was gone and my CUC detsroyed him within hours

    I chuckled when I read this, not because of your loss but I'm going through the same thing. I lost my Niger Trigger two days ago and I cannot find him anywhere, its like he disappeared into thin air. Nothing floating around and the shrimp have been behaving as usual. He was only about 1.5" and I am blaming my Sebae for eating him, my Wife doesn't think so but that's the only explanation I can come up with. 1' Sebae vs 1.5" Trigger...the trigger is bound to lose.

    It's the one behind the fire clown on my avatar. Needles to say I get real nervous when it decides to relocate.

    I have a Fire Clown and a Tomato Clown. The Fire Clown hosts the Sebae and the Tomato hosts my Long Tentacle, the LTA is about 8". Both clowns are about 3 1/2".
