I just posted two days ago how much I learnt about salt water tanks over the 5 months. Things seems to be pretty normal until this happened, two days go my royal Gamma died, now these two clowns died. They were my very first fish in the tank. This is so depressing that they finally started to host Anemone as well.
I checked water levels yesterday with API kit, everything was quite good. Also I did go to local fish store to had them check the water who use different kit than API. They also confirmed that water was good.
The fins were eaten after the death it seems I saw conch was picking on them when I saw them died this morning. I fed them last night and they were just fine swing around normally both were by their Anenomes. One more thing that I did see some white powder stuff covered on one two days ago. Both I thought that was salt/sand etc. I am worried that there is something going on with the tank?
I have Bristle tooth Tang and Spotted Mandarin left in the tank now. Both seem to be okay. Please advise if you see the picture helpful what was the matter with them.
