New Tank - Dead fish

[joejoe6357]

I have a 90g w/ 20g sump, 135 pounds of LR and RO NWB-150 skimmer, for a little over a month now. And one of my chromis died... but I can't find him! What do I do? He is likely buried beneath my large LR structure. Do I need to get him out of the tank, which would involved me dismantling a pretty complex LR structure? Can my tank handle the spike in ammonia, should I just dose it with Prime? I have tested the water and there isn't any ammonia yet (I'm assuming I would see some increase soon?) Any help would be much appreciated..

I have:

dragon blenny
blood shrimp
12 hermit crabs
2 clowns
purple dottyback
Copas tang
6-line wrasse
7 blue/green chromis (well now 6...)
some frags

Go Red Sox!

I'm sure a fish that small won't really spike your parameters to much. Most likely you crabs will clean it up before you even notice

May actually contribute to your further cycling being a month old

Chances are your hermits will get to him before he starts to decay. I wouldn't worry unless nothing the hermits and other CUC weren't getting to the carcass.

Lots of livestock for a new tank.

i have a problem keeping chromis in my tank in as a group, i have read they will even kill each other off it situations... I like them and always buy 6.... slowly they vanish till there is 2.....

+1 on the hermits eating it.
