I was wanting to know what am i to do if a fish dies, there's mostly rock in the tank and i can't get to the fish but the crabs can. Am i suppost to let the crabs take a meaty dinner? or am i suppost to move all rockwork and get the fish and disturb the tank?

I know i am suppost to do water changes!

is it a big fish? if not just let the crabs eat it if you have enough. I would not disturb all the rock and corals just to get him out. If it is a big fish or a good size fish like bigger then a damsel or percula then i would get him out. Its all ready going to cause your amonnia to go up.

If its in that 220 ya got, don't sweat it. It would take a heck of a lot of fish to die to have a detectable reading of ammonia in that size tank. Leave it for the crabs.
