fish death due to lighting?

[b.crabby]

i had what the lfs calls a scooter blennie(which turns out to be not a blennie but a fish in the manderin family call a dragonet, or somthing like that).anyway, i had this fish for about a year or so and it did very well in my 90 gal reef intil i installed my new dual 400w 6500k mh system. for the first few days it hid from the lights and after about a week it disappeared entirely. i can only assume that he is hermit food by now. i had never heard of fish who had died from lights. any thoughts?

Scooter Dragonets do best in a well established tank (which sounds like you had) They feed on pods and other things in the sand-bed area. My guess is that your new lights changed development or lack of, of the food the dragonet fed on and it's possible it starved to death.

this fish, i thought, ate pretty well. when i fed the others, i would turn off pumps and power heads and guide food to him so he would get his share. i only feed the fish about every three days or so, but thought that was sufficient.
