When I fed my tank tonight, I noticed that my flame hawk (got him right before christmas) wasn't anywhere to be seen. I thought, Oh $#@!, and began looking all in the tank and around the tank. I found him behind the tank, dried and crusty. He must have jumped sometime between the lights going off last night and when I fed the tank this evening.

During the search for the hawk, I got my hopes up when I looked in the HOB fuge and saw movement when I pulled up the chaeto, I found my "MIA, presumed dead" yellow watchman goby. This fish has been missing for at least 3 months, maybe more. I just knew this fish was dead, cause he disappeared after a temp spike in the tank, I never even bothered to look in the fuge. When he was finally recovered from the fuge (he didn't want to leave), I got a couple of shots, forgive the quality, the glass was dirty, the watchman wasn't cooperating and I was taking the shots at 1/8 sec shutter speed with no tripod. Even after ~3 months in the fuge, the fish was twice as big as when he was lost. Been eating left over tid bits of food and all the fauna in my fuge.
