One of those days
I came home and went straight to my tank as usually. After close examination I noticed One of my mated percs was missing. I found him a few minutes later dried up on the floor behind the tank. I had him 2 years and it took him 1 year to mate with my other perc.
So I took it in stride and went on working with the tank. I had a acropora that needed to be glued. So I glued it down and put it back in the tank where my 3 year old regal tang rush to see what was up. He decided to taste the glue and superglued his mouth shut. There are two lessons to learn here: Dont ever let fish near fresh glue, and dont ever get attached to your fish.

Man sorry to hear....
 That just stinks! I have heard of that happening, and had forgotten. I better watch what I am doing. This post reminded me of the yellow tang that got killed by a clam. He had his nose where it didnt belong and the clam shut on him and killed him.I'll try and find that pic.
