I lost a Scribbled Rabbitfish about 2 months ago for no apparent reason. 3rd fish in the last 6 months that was apparently absolutely healthy and eating one day, then listless, near death the next.

This one is too sad, my beautiful radiant wrasse. I managed to get pictures. Any clues at all????

I just got a radiant wrasse and was wondering what you feed yours.

Sorry you lost it. I would say it is one of the most beautiful fish I have ever seen.

It gorged itself on montipora nudibranchs. It ate anything and everything I put in the tank and was constantly feeding off the sand and rocks.

It ate Rod's Food, nori, again, anything I put in there it would feast on.

It saved my montis that hadn't been entirely wiped out by the nudis beofre I got him. I hated to lose this fish for that reason ... it was a savior. Every tank with montiporas should have one and I wish to get another.

Where did you get yours from if I might ask?

You say it ate a lot...but it looks awfully skinny to me:( Could it have had internal parasites?
Sorry about your loss...I love mine, would hate to loose him..

How long did you have the Wrasse? Any symptoms at all? Have you tested the water? Anymore info you can offer?
