Baby???

Tank was mature enough for mandarin. Its not food. May have been bacterial or with gasping, possible ammonia or nitrate spike

There was no spike in nitrate after the death or just now in the morning, I did do a 10% water change to help clean stuff up!

Nitrate is approximately.05-.10 ppm. I did a water change and brought salinity down to 1.022.
would it be to quick to add another fish by this Tuesday? All parameters are good and seahorses are still eating.

Thanks

Looks like Clinging Hydromedusa (Cladonema Sp.)

What is This Baby Jellyfish in my Reef Tank and Where did it Come From?

It happens more than you would think. You’re gazing into your saltwater aquarium and all of a sudden you observe something darting around- it looks like a jellyfish. But what is it really and…

The only time they pose a threat is when they take residence in larval fish operations or seahorse tanks. Uh oh…

Thoughts on origin of these? If I remember correctly, OP has live rock in tank so maybe a hitchhiker from that?

Sorry to hear about the ruby dragonet too haigyfish! I was waiting to see what kind of success you had with him in there. I would love to add a fish in with my seahorses, but the babies are so small I can't imagine any fish in there that would not see them as food!

Surprisingly enough the 6 or so days it was in there it never once tried eating a baby. All babies actually died after his death. I have no idea where the babies went but I’m down to 2/5.

I plan to add a mandarin goby this next couple of weeks

I got a new pair of seahorses and they birthed 6 babies. Currently all 6 are alive and they have been alive for 17 days. They’ve doubled in size.

Did you wind up with a new dragonet?

He’s awesome
