what is the most expensive fish or coral you had thats died an how

Clams. So many clams. Most expensive one $300 from live aquaria. One time got a sick clam killed my others, another time tangs killed the clams overnight. Most recently got pyramid snails that nuked my teardrop.

 

Foxface killed my $150 maxima clam. So far my only major loss.

 

I eyeball the store clerks while they work the nems loose. I asked one a while back if she would mind if I handled removal.... Can tell if they are going to f it up if they grab the nem.

Most expensive I've lost is a bluespot jaw fish while in quarantine. Best I could figure was stress. Everything else checked out.

 

I bought an orange back wrasse that was killed by a Hawkfish, then I tried a peppermint hogfish that met the same fate. It was like $150 worth of fish in 1 week.
I ended up buying a really small treble hook from Dicks, baited it with meatloaf and caught the Hawkfish.
I thought of flushing him, but gave him to Petco instead.

 

I solved my flame hawk from being too confident by getting a longnose hawk. I thought they would keep each other busy by claiming their part of the tank. It's worked but not how I expected, they are like best friends now and perch on rocks and my monti cap together while my clownfish lays on them. They dont chase anything.

 

Show size Australian Scotts fairy wrasse my gold bar wrasse killed it right in front of me :/

 

OHHHH where do I begin??? LOL.

 

I had a return pump go and was getting no warn water to my display tank out of my sump. lost a yellow tang, coral beauty, six line wrasse, foxface,Niger trigger, orange stripe Brissel tooth tang, purple stripe dottyback and a couple other I can't remember. needless to say it was a bad day

 

Goldflake angel. $210 (which is a great price for a 4-5" adult). Had it for about 3 weeks seemed to be fine - ate like a pig and then found it dead out of the blue. Still have no idea how/why it died.

 

A Lennardi wrasse, died in QT

 

a labouti Wrasse, He went carpet surfing
