Dead Diamond Goby

I am only posting this to warn people not to get a Vlamingi Tang. Early this morning still dark . i was on my PC 10 feet from the tank when some loud thrashing took place twice. I knew it was the Tang bought stupidly let it go . I just went to feed the fish and no Diamond Goby to be seen. It had done this before for days, but I looked in the sump area and there it was. Right now I am fighting the urge to catch the R Tang a flush it it is huge for the tank about 5-6 inches long as well as 4-5 inches girth and has been a bully for a while. Just avoid them is my advice

Is this your 65 gallon tank? Way to small of a tank for that vlamingii, if it is. I would expect more casualties going forward.

Not 65 is 100 with 40 sump. However I think that's to small as well in hindsight did not expect it to get as big. In my past experience fish grow to their environment. Another anomaly
