Flameback Angel

[beaver]

Hi Reefers,

As above, I have one that has been eating well on pellets for almost 2 months. Looking healthy and perky up till yesterday evening when I couldn't find it...I noe something is not right as it will always be swimming in the open...this morning I found it dead It has no visible injuries or spots. However, its body colour is kinda faded. Could it be burnt by any of my corals? (main suspect a huge bubble)

Thanks

My tank is 3 x 2 x 2

the water parameters are within acceptable range as all the LPS are healthy and open and some have been in the tank for many months. The other fishes are very docile ones like fire goby, lemon goby and yellow wrasse.

Actually, my main suspect is a large bubble - could it stung the angel. It looked pretty shocked one day b4 it died. Other than that, it has been healthy and greedy, devouring everything that I fed it....

perhaps i am just a novice..cause i never heard of bubble stinging a angel.

hmm.

maybe someone else can reason for you.
