Hey guys,
I have been in the hobby for about 6-7 years. Ever since I laid eyes on this beautiful fish aka The Blotched Anthia I fell in love. I just didn't have the experience or money to purchase it so I waited till I felt comfortable buying a +$200 fish. I frequently visit Tropical Island because I work nearby so I spend my lunches looking at fish and coral. He had one but I didn't buy it. He sold it. Came back because they got 5 in so I coughed up the money and bought it, acclimated him and dropped him in. He scurried into the corner by the overflow but remained alert & ate like a champ. Checked the tank last night after work and gone. No trace or sign of him even after I fed and shut off all pumps. Checked behind, both sides, floor and overflows and nothing. It's been about 24hrs since his disappearance. Very upset and just plain disappointed... My favorite fish I waited so long for just disappears.
