Not great news, sorry to hear that. Did the hawkfish jump or was it an in-tank death?

I think I know why it didn't feed, maybe just one reason, anyway it was eating in the shop, I'll just get another one then.

You gotta figure out why your hawkfish stopped eating, it was fine in the shop. Maybe it's stress, who knows, but no point chucking more cash at it if the others are just gonna kick the bucket too.

It's not right for the fish either, if something's off in the tank and it's killing them. You gotta test the tank at least, figure out what's going on.

My puffer's eating fine, so tank's good. Not gonna get another hawkfish, it was just that fish. Anemone's doing alright, corals too, and all my other fish are eating - so it's just one of those things. I guess it just didn't take to my tank, or me.
