Pretty beat up about it.

 

Fish spent 2 months in QT perfectly healthy and happy. Ate daily, no issues.

 

Moved it to my DT tank 2 days ago. It found an alcove to hide itself in and didn't move for 2 days. Figured it was stressed from the move, or scared. The fish didn't eat. Nothing crazy abnormal for a new fish.

 

Woke up this morning to find it dead on the sand (and whole from what I could tell).

 

Tank contents:

 

Yellow Watchman Goby

Pistol Shrimp

Peppermint Shrimp

Couple small Blue Leg Hermits

One similar size crab (brown - TBH not sure of type)

~8 coral, various softies, SPS, LPS

 

Only thing I can think of is stress. I know it wasn't sick. Just sucks. =(
