I went away for a few days last week. I had a family member feed my tank for me daily. When I came back one of my occ clownfish had disappeared. He was fine before I left and now there is no trace of him. My dilemma now is do i replace him with another occ clown fish to have a pair, add a differnt type of compatible clown fish or go with something different for more variety. I'm at max capacity so the replacement would hae to be of a similar size / bio load.
 
I would lean toward adding a small ocellaris, but you know your tank and the inhabitants better than we do. Additionally, I recently had a male Clarkii disappear for several days and then return as if nothing had changed so you may want to make sure it is really no longer there. Good luck with whatever you decide!
 
Ah he's a goner my tank is only small and its nearly 2 weeks now. I'm pretty sure he's snail food.
