Had my tank going for almost a year before i decided to put any fish in it as it was not financially prudent for me to do so but i received some small button polyps, xenia and green star polyp that satisfied me for a while, then it came time to add some fish, i picked up 2 clowns from a lfs acclimated them to the dt, then put them in, they did great, were getting along cruising the tank, then i decided i wanted to get a Red Mandarin which got stuck in some rock work up to his pectoral fins and died before i got home from work, and decided to replace him with a red scooter blenny as well as i picked up a tang, acclimated them to the tank and dropped them in as well. In the span of 2 months, no quarantining all is well. I turn the lights off on the tank before going to bed on christmas eve, everything is beautiful, tang is picking my rocks clean, clowns are being their strange selves, and the scooter is hunting the rock, all is good. I wake up Christmas day and look into my tank with my moonlights on and i see my yellow tang is not doing well. now sadly this is the best picture of anything I've taken in my tank, and seems to be the worst case of MI I've found even from Google images. I take the rock down, and out to get to the fishes, place them into a 20L with water from the tank, and the only thing i have is copper we picked up from walmart for my daughters Betta, but it's all i had on Christmas day. I lost the scooter and the tang that day, a clown the next, and the last clown the day after that... it wasn't a good christmas and i learned the importance of a qt tank and since i didn't qt any of the pets i got i have no clue which one may have brought it in, or if they all had it and got stressed out to bring it out.
Stress imo.. Ich is everywhere just dormant
