I am extremely livid right now, as I just discovered the cause of my favorite fish's demise. When I was setting up my new lighting configuration, I used the MyAI app. One of the features essentially causes the lights to unexpectedly strobe extremely brightly and repeatedly without anyway to stop it but to wait it out. Long story short, the next day I realized my clown was missing, only to find it lodged deeply into a piece of liverock. It wasn't a predator or hitchiker, as there was no damage to the fish. Parameters were perfect. It's extremely easy to make this "mistake" on the app as well, there is no warning/prompt as to what it will specifically do.

I am now on a mission to let as many people know about this risk, as I feel a mixture of anger, disgust, and sadness. Please don't let this happen to your fish, spread the word.
