I Clean to Grieve

spanglish · 01-27-2007, 10:45 PM

My Derasa died this morning. Here are its last moments

PhilOlsen · 01-27-2007, 10:47 PM

Sorry for your loss.

spanglish · 01-27-2007, 10:49 PM

So, my water all tested fine, may have been nipped by my
blenny.

Anyway, I spent the day doing a water change and scraping my
glass.

Good excuse for a couple of new pics

Note my newly relocated yellow acro.

I have layed it on its side and am very happy with the look!

So sad!

lcstorc · 01-27-2007, 11:39 PM

Very sad. I know the feeling as I recently lost my big crocea in a similar fashion. One day he was fine, the next night he was gone. It is amazing how quickly bad thinkgs can happen in a reef.

Sorry for your loss, Spanglish. Your tank looks wonderful.

sorry for your loss.

SueT · 01-28-2007, 06:14 PM

wow, I'm so sorry about your clam. I wonder what in the world could of happened. The mantle falling into the shell isn't a specific symptom of any problem. It happens with a lot of clams but with a wide variety of reasons.

So sorry about the loss.

lgerold · 01-28-2007, 06:23 PM

I love that toadstool!

saltwaterfarm · 01-28-2007, 06:52 PM

That is a spectacular tank! I am sorry for your loss. I lost a stony oyster the other day that I had grown quite fond of... I know how you feel.
