So yesterday at 6PM my foxface appeared happy & healthy when I fed him. At about 8PM I looked in my tank and he was stuck to my overflow, not moving and barely breathing. I watched him for a few hours and no change. All other fish & corals great. Would a sting from my RBTA cause this? I tested everything and all was great. I did a water change and added some chemi-pure and carbon. At midnight no change so I went to bed. This morning I couldn't find him anywhere. I tore rockwork apart trying to find him as I didn't want to leave a dead 5" fish in tank. After 1 hour of searching I was about to give up when I noticed the last 1-2" of the tail sticking out of my RBTA! which is only about 6-7 " when fully expanded. So question one:
What could have happened to Foxface? He had 2 white circles on the black stripe near gills about the size of pencil eraser, Sting?
And two"
Should I be concerned about RBTA eating this large fish spines and all?
Tank is a 90 with about 100lbs LR. Amm 0, nitrites - 0, nitrates - 0, PH 8.3
Salinity 1.024, temp 79, DKH 9
Thanks,
