So sorry to hear about your loss. Have you added any new fish to your tank recently?

Sorry for your loss it always sucks to lose a fish.

I might get myself in trouble here but here it goes.

from your previous posts it looks like you have a 75 gal with low flow and undersized skimmer ( you might have upgraded) clown tangs are open water swimmers and need lots of room. Min 180 gallons with no other tangs they also need highly oxygenated water.

I am really just trying to help - I learn from forum's and research and it helps to keep this hobby enjoyable. We get frustrated and quit without understanding why.
