The protein skimmer might start working overtime, but you probably won't see
even that if you have a good scavenging crew. With a small fish like that and a
decent size tank like yours, even that is unlikely. That's one of the reasons
all of these suppliers can confidently guarantee their stuff. In a reef tank,
things that die usually just disappear without a trace.

Don't get accusatory about it though. I had a firefish show back up over a month
after I thought he had died. Shellfish are even worse about this; I have had a
conch disappear for months; right now, I may or may not have two in my tank. My
Mandarin disappears for weeks at a time (I caught a glimpse of him tonight).
