Sad Day

[Warnberg]

Yesterday when I got up I found my spotted mandarin upside down dead... I was afraid this was going to happen, the fish was very fat and healthy but I was taking a major risk with the mandarin and an anemone. It looks like the Mandarin got too close, got stung and struggled to get free, once it got free it was over... I had this female Mandarin for 18 months without issue.

Live and learn I guess..... Mandarin + Anemone = disaster

You know, when I lost my Mandarin, my LTA had gone on walkabout and I found the mandarin right underneath it when I went to move it back. I guess that's what happened...
