Gorgeous blue throat Trigger from a local shop that was in their tank for a little bit.
Added to my FOWLER tank and he was shy the first couple of days competing for food with a Humu trigger.
Afterward, he was eating OK and was wondering the tank nicely. I admit, probably my favorite (Wife likes the Humu).
This morning I noticed he didn't come out to eat, neither this evening. I checked with a very low power flashlight the cave where he used to hide and he was there breathing.
I used the coral feeder tube to give him some Mysis Shrimp. Pretty sure I saw him eating in there.
About 30 minutes later, I installed a Radion G4 light (The tank had no light, but there was some light from the tank next to it).
2 hours later I checked on the tank and I found him dead in the back right side of the tank!!!
I immediately checked the water parameters, with a RedSea Marine Care kit. Ammonia = 0, Nitrate = ~2, Nitrite = 0.1
I know the Humu is a s.o.b but I never actually saw him bully the BJT although he would try and stay away from the super hyper Humu.
I know they can get stressed, etc, but after 2 weeks? Any ideas? I have had new additions to my reef tank with no issues. I plan on holding off any new additions to the aggressive tank for a little bit I guess? Also, I think it is time for the Humu to be re-homed!
