So i just came back from a 7 day cruise where I left my brother to watch the house, my french bulldog and my 150 gal reef.
I set up an auto feeder that turns 4 times a day at set times, my fathom lights are pre programmed and my ATO. I showed him how to fill the ATO, empty the skimmer and drop some extra feedings in and some Nori sheets.
Anyway, at first look somehow my glued down hammer was off its wrong and head down in the sand. No real damage done there. All parameters are in check. All seemed normal but after a day back I cannot find my lawnmower blenny.... I mean he is great at hiding and camouflaging but hes never a no show for an entire day. I even put a sheet of nori and he always comes for some and didnt...
I checked the socks and nothing, sump, nothing, around the floor, nothing, overflows and nothing...
Hes the 2nd oldest fish in this tank at almost 2 years. I have accounted for everyone but him...
I did notice some aptasia in 1 of my overflow areas which is a little weird to me... not sure if I should remove it or not, not trace in the actual tank.

Anyway Its only been a day but no sign of my blenny anywhere. Its not a huge loss but he was cool and if hes gone its still a loss... Hopefully he turns up.

hopefully he is just in the rock work. Otherwise maybe he perished and the cuc took care of him for ya.
 
I got back sunday 4am, no sign of him. I suspect he died and CUC took care of business...
 
Either that or he went carpet surfing and your Frenchie took care of business...:eek:. If he is gone, sorry for your loss. Although rare, I hate when I lose a fish!
