    EMERGENCY Leaving Fish for Vacation

    This summer I am going on a 2 week vacation. I am wondering what to do with my fish tank. I have to ocellaris clowns, a shrimp, and an astraea snail.

    Clownfish Eye Problem

    Is this Brooklynella on my clownfish?

    I have a small clownfish in my 55 gal reef and he has some blotchy white patches on his body. Hoping it’s not Brook but can someone please tell me? There are 3 other clowns in the tank as well and 1 shows some slight aggression to him. Could it just be aggression? Pics below
