This morning I find my coral beauty angelfish lying on its side on the bottom of the tank panting weakly and obviously on its way out. I then watched my one spot foxface go to the dying cba and literally sit on it and adopt his brown camo colouring with spines partially erect. After a few minutes he then swam off and turned yellow again. He then returned to cba and repeated the performance. This was repeated several times until I could net the dying cba and put him in my qt. He was soon dead and on inspection there wasn't a mark on him.
All parameters good and all other fish corals, shrimps etc in good shape.
Anyone seen this behaviour before? I can only draw the conclusion that the cba had been stung to death. what do you think?
