30 Gallon Tank, Rapids Pro System
Temp: 77 Degrees
Ammonia: Clearly 0
Nitrate: Looks like 0 but could be 5.0
pH: 8.3
Nitrite: Clearly 0
SG: 1.023
Water change every 2 weeks.
Tank inhabitants: 1 Cleaner Shrimp, 1 Emerald Crab, 1 False Perc, 1 Bi-color Chromis, 9 Hermies, 25 Lbs Live Rock, 25 Lbs Live Sand
I have had him for a little over a month. It had no signs of stress, grazed off the live rock, ate great at every feeding, and slept in a small cave area, then suddenly died one night which it was eaten pretty quickly by my inverts. I have seen my emerald lunge after the fish and liked the same area the Coral Beauty slept in. Could the Emerald have attacked it? The other thing I am thinking is I have 1 25 watt 50/50 bulb which doesn't grow much on my Live Rock, so the Coral Beauty might not have gotten its required vegetation diet. I feed a mixture of Frozen Emerald Entree and Frozen Omega Brine Shrimp. I test every other day and the water parameters have never been elevated.
Thanks for the help!
