Cant get to dead clownfish

[Mikef1]

Today I realized my small maroon clown was dieing for not apparent reason. All my water tests out fine and eveything else is doing good. My problem is he decided to die behind all of my rocks and I cant get to him without moving all the rocks, which I really dont want to do if I dont have to. My tank is a 150 reef with 150 lbs liverock and a DSB. Do you think my ammonia will go up if I leave him in there or will the tank take care of it. He is about a 1/2 inch long.

I just looked behind the rocks and my two coral bandeds are eating him. Should I just leave it alone?

on a tank that size i honestly do not think it will affect your ammonia levels too much. obviously, get the dead fish out if you can but if you have an adequate maintence crew (hermits and your CBS) they should suffice. good luck, just my opinion

I wouldn'd worry about either. Your clean up crew should make quick work of the carcass.

I agree Mike, don't worry about it. Won't be around long enough to cause a problem...

Agreed with all. In a 150 there shouldn't be much of a problem except the mourning of the fish

buy yourself a serpent or brittle star or make yourself a harpoon. if you make a harpoon make sure it's long enought and has barbs so the carcass stays on the tip when you jab it. i know they sell harpoons for frog hunting that would do well. they are on a pole and are skinny and can be modified. i think i saw some once at wal mart in the fishing section.

Why just not use a Power Head to blast him out ??
