Hi guys! I'm a new member to Nano Reef. I currently have a Fluval 13.5 tank. It has been running for 2 years without any issues. A couple of days ago one of our fishes died and yesterday one of our clown fishes died. We noticed that he was looking a little slimy or flakey. On the white parts of his body they developed grey spots. This morning we woke up and our other clown has grey spots on the white part of their body. I have not had this happen before. This is the first pair of clowns that we put in the tank when we started. We have not added any new fish into the tank either or changed anything in the tank. I have attached some photos of the fish that passed away. You can see some of the grey spots that he developed. The tank was put on feed mode so that is why it might look like there is no flow in the tank. If someone could please send over some advice on what it could be I would really appreciate it.

Hi my name is Seth, I am relatively new to the hobby and I am having an issue with a clown fish. I have a EVO 13.5 (nano tank) about 6 months old. I have a clown that is about 6 weeks old and the first 3-4 weeks it was fine, then stopped eating and has gotten lethargic. I previously had the exact same issue with a storm clown 2 months ago and tried some treatments of Metroplex, which I thought had some positive effects, but in the end lost the storm. 4 days ago I tried a high dose treatment of Metroplex in a QT tank, hoping it would be enough to get anything in his gut, but hasnt seemed to work,. Last night I moved him to QT with a small dose of Metroplex and I opted to keep him QT, because it is a pain in the ass to get him out of my main tank, not to mention it stresses him and the rest of the tank out. I also saw some stringy white poo for the first time today, it is in the video, but im assuming that is the stomach lining after not eating for so long. FYI, there is a healthy Storm Clown and Tail Spot Blenny in there now, So I am not sure if there is some parasite present and the other fish just have the right stuff in their gut to fight it. Not sure what to do at this point, dont want this guy to die as well. Here is a quick vid.

There are a few bumps on his first stripe and the gills on his left side are open. I bought a pair yesterday from a local fish store. There is a small white dot on the others pectoral fin and a similar dot on the potentially sick ones body. The store has pretty good reviews, although i am worried it may be ich. Maybe simply a birth defect? Tank has been running for 6 weeks. Parameters are good and shrimp, snail, and crabs have been doing good for a couple weeks. Please help

Hi everyone! Kind of a long story, but I’ll try to be as brief as possible. Please stay with me! Lol i set set up my 37gal tank back in May. Started the tank with 2 clowns, dragon goby, yellow tailed damsel, blue sided fairy wrasse, and a neon dottyback. Not all at the same time. Live rock, live sand. The wrasse was sold to me sick and didn’t make it. Had to get rid of the dottyback because, well, he was a jerk and no one told me! Everyone else has been fine. I added a tang recently. The Tang caught what I and my LFS think is ich. Little white specks all over him. But he was still eating like a champ and swimming just fine. Yesterday, I noticed he had some dark purple/black blotches on him. Weird thing is they were going away and reappearing other places on him within minutes. I’d walk away, check on him 20 minutes later and the blotches would be in totally different spots. I called my LFS and they said it’s probably just a secondary infection from the ich and as long as he was still eating and swimming, not to do anything different. Well today he’s been laying on his side next to a rock almost all day. He came out to eat, but I don’t think he got more than one or two pieces in his mouth. And now my Goby has been laying in his den all day and his color is weird. He came out to eat and swim around a bit, but not as much as usual. I don’t see any spots on him. LFS is closed today, so I’m going to be there as soon as they open tomorrow. Just thought I’d ask here to see if anyone had any opinions. All my water parameters have have been perfect, even salinity. Also, this may be completely unrelated but I’ve noticed a bunch of little brown logs on top of my sand. I’ll attach a pic, but it’s hard to see. Not sure if it’s some sort of parasite or just someone’s weird poos! Lol any help will will be appreciated!
