Death of "Bubbles The Second"

Well, that makes two down...

 

Last night my RBTA (Bubbles, the Second) decided to go for a walk and when I went to bed he was near the top of the tank about 2-3" from the overflow.

 

I didn't give it a thought as the overflow is only 1/4" routed slots - he'd never get stuck there...

 

Tonight I'm looking at the tank and its a little cloudy - hmmm, why is that? Hmmm. Can't find bubbles. Get the flashlight and look in the side behind the rocks. Nope.

 

Oh well - probibly hiding real well - he'll be back out tomrorrow...

 

Then, as I got ready to do my weekly water change, I looked in the sump/"refuge" and saw a small piece of something red... like a little peice of cocktail shrimp - I haven't fed shrimp in weeks???

 

OMFrG - could that be bubbles? Look around the fuge - there's another small piece a snail is feeding on???

 

BUUUBBBBLLLEESSSSSS!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

 

All that was left of the RBTA was a couple pieces of his foot (looking amazingly like cocktail shrimp) no bigger than a pea. That and a thousand pieces of micro-snot floating around the tank (everyone else was having a field day - never seen Einstein (my brain) filter feeding during the day before)).

 

I would have never thought that the BTA would have got caught in the skimmer (it's cover so there's no going over the top - just through the slits). Geez.

 

Now - another RBTA? OR how about that purple tipped anenome I saw at Petco (not a place I normally shop, but they wanted less than $20 for this thing and it was beautiful)...
