Not clue why, everything in the tank is spot on, all other fish and corals are happy, only thing i can think is my a**hole mystery wrasse has been pestering him. o well i guess losses happen just sucks i spent $50 on him last month and now he's gone.

mystery's hate flashers. They will usually kill them all.

Yeah, wrasses are tricky to combine. It takes some research, planning, and magic tricks sometimes..

I've got 16 in my tank and they all get along.

The trick is to not get any lined wrasses... sixlines/mysterys/etc. They're just too territorial to make it work in all but the largest of tanks. Even then I've heard of lined wrasses hunting down flashers/fairies relentlessly in 300 gallon tanks... They typically get more aggressive as they get older.
