Woke up to this. I read that LPS could sting them before I got it, but I didn't consider LPS eating them, lesson learned, poor guy and dumb owner. Maybe this post will prevent others from making mistake ------------- 65g Reef |

Very true on the not having to feed the scoly aspect. The store I got the pipefish from had scolys in the tank I believe. I've seen the scoly eat hermits (pops shell back out after which is pretty cool) so I guess I should have thought through the pipefish a little more. RIP lil buddy. ------------- 65g Reef |

Wow!
So sad, but kind of cool at the same time.

It was a dragonface pipefish most likely a Corythoichthys
instinalis but its color is gone obviously. ------------- 65g Reef |
