love mine,very hardy .although one time he jumped out of the tank ,my wife found him on the floor and called me.luckily i was at the neighbors house.
i almost forgot and went to pick him up with my hand but got him back in with a net and he hasnt jumped since.they do have alot of energy and are always swimming around .great for a reef.

ROFL... that would have sucked if you got "poked."

One of the hardiest fish around, I love mine. A little timid until they get used to the tank but after that they become a lot more outgoing.

I have only had mine for a couple of months but he definitely will eat lotsa alge.I can dangle pieces of algae sheet in tank and he takes it outa my hand(very careful not to get poked!)

i had one for about 6-7 months,and it never ate algae. it ate krill,brine shrimp, and whatever else i fed it and it always had a fat belly. It was very easy to take care of did nothing different from my other fish. But i came home from work the other day and it was on the bottom dead no signs of stress or nothing it ate fine the day before and everything. But overall it seemed like a hardy fish.

Sorry to here about your loss.
Most likely because he didn't get enough greens. They are herbivores.
