Well to be honest I'm not sure how many are left at this point. They have steadily become more secretive and I rarely see them now. I know I lost one blue on for sure when I forgot to turn the heaters back on after some maintenance this spring. (I have terrible luck with heaters.) I had one yellow which stayed visible most of the time but I haven't seen him for a couple of weeks now. I haven't seen any blue ones for months. Years back I had a yellow one that disappeared for over a year. When I removed a coral that outgrew the tank and it's rock, the assessor fell out of a hole and plopped into the bucket. So there may be some in there still.

Thank you! I was tempted to upgrade many times, but the thought of disturbing everything has always made me reconsider. It is a good size and shape and I am happy with it, and unless it springs a leak it will stay.
