If velvet was in the tank, that would be the most likely culprit.

Well... A can assure with certainty my royal gramma is dead. Woke up this morning to look over my tank as usual, and found half he's body stuck to my power head wave maker .
I'm so ******!!!! Seriously, I liked him alot, he was fun to watch just like Mr. Benny the Blenny. Now I don't know if it was the damnsel or the ick/velvet crap that they always have that killed him. Could it be my emerald crab? Or my peppermint shrimp? I mean... I work where I live. I'm a super at my complex and have my 2 15min break and hour lunch at my apt. So I'm always keeping an eye out at my tank, but I can't see the back of my live rock I wonder if maybe they did something? Frustrating.
I had a small fairy wrasse that liked to take a 'totally tubular' ride through my overflow. I'd find him in my sump regularly, and I only had trouble fishing him out the first time. After that he would swim into the net because he learned he'd go back up for another go when he was ready.I had a yellow watchman in my first tank that was a 60 gal. He made it through the overflow box and down into the sump within a day or so. I found him and put him back in the DT. A few days later he disappeared again. We nicknamed him Houdini because no mater what I did he would somehow make it back into the overflow. At some point he just completely disappeared. Fast forward 8 months and I broke the tank down and upgraded to a 90 and who did I find in the sump? Houdini!
He now is happy in the new 90 DT and will disappear for days at a time and then pop back up with no issue.
Guess who I found in the sump after he went missing in the new 90 after a week...I had a small fairy wrasse that liked to take a 'totally tubular' ride through my overflow.
