I've had this sunburst anthias for about 6 months. A few weeks ago I noticed it wasn't showing an appetite, but still eating a little. I added a T5 hybrid fixture and noticed it started only hanging out in the corner where it likes to sleep. I assumed it was because the lights were to bright and needed to acclimate. About a week goes by and the same behavior is happen. I added a new fish, flasher wrasse, today and the sunburst goes into hiding. Sunburst are skiddish so I thought he was just scared. I then noticed the massive wound. I did a fresh water dip. I have begun a ProziPro treatment cycle. Any advice would be great. The Sunburst is still alive, but won't make it through the night.

Could be uronema. Anthias are prone to it. Very deadly.
I'm thinking this is indeed it. I do have chromis which probably brought it in. This is such a bummer. From what I found you can't eradicate it from the tank. Sunburst are 1 of my favorite fish. I would never want to put another through that again.
Unless my research is wrong. Does anyone know a way to eradicate from your tank?
