Hi all, this is my first post here after setting up my first saltwater tank. Just put these two into my tank on Sunday. They are the first fish in the tank after a month of cycling. I did notice the larger of the two has these white looking dots. I’m not sure if that is just coloration or...

Hello fellow reefers. I was wondering if you can help me ID what is on my clownfish? He recently started hosted my gonipora and I thought it was just debris but I think it is something more than that? He seems to be eating and acting normal. Thanks for your help!

Hi, Today, I noticed my male mandarin died. I found him on the bottom of the tank when I woke up. It is a big loose for me, as he was a part of mated pair, which has been spawning several times. On 21.11.2023 I noticed ich breakdown in my tank. I have tried to manage it, and I haven't had any...

Hi all, i’ve got two clown fish in my dt just live rock and live sand put in the clowns after cycling nother further so no clean up crew yet. One of the clowns started to show sign of a disease yesterday its brooklynella according to vetteguy53081 (thanks for helping!) Link to the clownfish’...

Hi All, I have a relatively new tank (4 months), BioCube 32g. (specifics below) I had a pair of Ocellaris Clownfish. I lost one, apparently due to aggression. I waited 5 days then, after no signs of illness, I bought a smaller Clownfish to go with the survivor. There was no sign of aggression...

Hello all, I am new to reef2reef. I set up a 20g tank a couple of months ago. It has a yellow tail damsel, clownfish and flame hawk fish. They are all about 1.5-2 inches long and get along pretty well. The damsel gets upset when the clownfish goes near his rocks but everyone generally gets...

I just got my first saltwater tank up and running... It's a 210 gallon tank and I have 4 black ocellaris clownfish that I have been using to start my cycle on the tank. I added them on 10/22/2023 and now on 10/31/2023 I noticed that only one of my clownfish has these white "spots" and from a...

Hey guys. Wondering if this is possibly Brook or some scale damage. To me, it just looks like the scales are lifted a bit BUT lfs said clownish dont have scales. I went to another lfs right after (first one didn’t have what I came there for) and figured I would ask there. They told me that...

Tank almost wiped out and not sure if it was Velvet or Ich TLDR at bottom Some context - 2x Clown Fish, Cleaner Shrimp, Yellow Tang, Blue Tang, Royal Gamma, Cherub Angelfish, last one I don't remember look a Blenny or a Jawfish. I recently added the Yellow Tang and a snail that didn't move...

Yesterday I lost a bicolor blenny, and after looking closer at my fish I noticed that my clownfish looks like it may have Brook or Velvet, could someone help me id and have any advice on treatment? His behavior looks ok for now, no itching and swimming around and he’s eating a bit. I hope it’s...

Hey everyone, I recently had an outbreak of Brooklynella in my fish tank which killed my 2 Clownfish , 1 Fairy Wrasse , and 1 Firefish. I have been doing some research and I know it says to go fish less for 6 weeks. That’s what I plan on doing, but is it possible for the parasite to die quicker...

***Sorry in advance for the long read***if you’ve had experience with Ich/Brook…I would love your advice and feedback! Starting a week ago I noticed my black clownfish had what I thought was Ich. Initially I did RODI dip—helped significantly, almost all spots fell off and started treating DT...

I've got some clowns and a blue spotted jawfish that have come up with some disease. It's been noticeable for about 5 days now. Attached are some pictures of the clowns and I'll try and get a picture of the jawfish.

I recently bought a coral beauty about 2 weeks. I didn’t have the space around my house to put a QT so I put it in my main tank. I went on vacation for about a week and I noticed that one of my clownfish (8 years old) had white spots all over him. I suspected it was either velvet/brooklynella...

Hi guys, I know Formalin and Ruby Reef are known to be the best Brooklynella treatments but I haven’t been able to find anyone in the UK that supplies them. Does anyone know the best option in the UK? I have noticed white marks on one of my clowns in my new main tank and have already treated...

I've had this clownfish for about 6-7 years now. When I got it it was pretty orange, over the years it had turned mostly black. It seemed to have a grown spirt lately because it was always much smaller than the other. Does this look like a case of brooklynella? It swims and eats just fine...

Can coral dip kill parasites like Brooklynella, I have a suspicion that my coral had been in contact with it.

Can velvet or brooklynella stay dormant in a clownfish for 4 weeks without appearing? I think my clownfish I have had for almost a month is starting to exhibit symptoms of brooklynella.

Hi, This afternoon I lost my favorite, a black ice snowflake clown to an unknown disease. She was breathing very heavy, resting on the sand bed. Before death, she started swimming “possessed” and flying into rocks while doing flips, etc. I thought it was brooks as it looked like mucus coming...

I noticed one of my clowns had some signs of his pelvic fin being nipped at, but I mistakenly thought this was from the female bullying him and establishing dominance.. A week or so later it looks like he’s losing coloration near his stomach, which looks like it’s turning transparent from his...

Hi all, this is my first post here (been waiting to make a build post). I'm looking for some help with a possible diagnosis. My first saltwater tank has been cycled for a little over a month now. Last weekend I added my first two clownfish. They are pretty small but one is bigger than the...

Hey guys, Can anyone ID this if it is in fact Brooklynella. My clownfish is breathing heavy and has abruptly stopped eating. She appears to have a flaky like substance slowly building up around her and her orange color is now significantly less vibrant. She has been in qt with copper power for...

I lost my clown today to what I believe to be brook. Cloudy eyes, mucus on skin and rapid breathing last night. I noticed this 2 days ago but honestly I didn’t want to believe that she was sick. Even though I’m upset about it since she was my first fish, she is not the only one in the tank. I...

Hey guys i have several fish that are presenting with symptoms that i feel could be described by several different dieases so im having a real hard time figuring out what it is and how i should act from here. My Midas has like a white dusting around his head area with white strings coming off...
