My angel fish did not look very well yesterday. He/ developed some kind of fungi that started to cover his body and clouded over his eyes. Yesterday I bought some "fishkeeper" to help with the problem. I only had an angel and a red blooded fire shrimp in my tank. Anyway, it would appear the angel has died and is trapped in the live rock. I would assume that it is critical that the dead angel is removed, right?

Thanks, Paul

I got the angel out. He was under one of the live rocks. There were a lot of bristle worms on him.

They looked like earth worms. I did find one fire worm that was about an inch long.

What color were they? Eucid worms look similar to earthworms. I found one in my tank and he vanished. The hunt begins.
