Dang  :( that sucks. Dont let it get ya down. Sometimes theres nothing that could have been done. Even the best reefers are gona loose one from time to time from some pre existing condition or such. It wont be long and something new will catch your eye and when it does, get it, hehehe. Dont let one bad apple spoil your tank for good.  ;D

Sorry about your loss. Fish can come with quite a few issues from shipping and handling. These are not the fault of you, I would contact the LFS and tell them the situation, they may credit you for a future purchase. How long had you had it?

Also juvenile fish have always been a problem for me, they are not yet strong enough to take the stresses imposed on them and seem to be more susceptible to disease. For that reason I will never buy juvenile fish again, unless they are captive breed. I also recommend a QT system, for all fish and inverts, 30 day stay.

When you say " I am done with fish " , is that just fish or reefing all together ?

A few fish are beneficial for a reef tank, they can be small and inexpensive, fish pooh is fish pooh.
