Safe for hermit and slugs?Looks like brook to me. If so, you need to set up a QT with paraguard (USE GLOVES). Alternately, if a QT is an absolute impossibility, ruby reef rally pro is supposed to be reef safe (however, reef safe often means parasite safe) (USE GLOVES).

I do not know exactly what it is - based on these photos - but - since every sick clownfish is expected to have brooklynella - I'll go along with the rest - unfortunately Spare-time - I do not agree with your treatment - brooklynella (if thats what it is - needs a different treatment - like formaldehyde, copper - or ruby reef. You will need to put the fish in a separate tank - and while you are at it - perhaps the others as well - I'm not going to recommend a specific dose - there are plenty of protocols out there.Looks like brook to me.

Copper typically won’t help with brooklynella. A FW dip may buy some time. I prefer formalin, but as said, ruby reef has worked for some folks.I do not know exactly what it is - based on these photos - but - since every sick clownfish is expected to have brooklynella - I'll go along with the rest - unfortunately Spare-time - I do not agree with your treatment - brooklynella (if thats what it is - needs a different treatment - like formaldehyde, copper - or ruby reef.

BUT - as described a couple times on R2R - to make an accurate diagnosis you need an accurate history - so please look at the link in my signature. And Hopefully this will give you some more answers to answer.
I was gonna add the smaller rocks I want to replace in the dtYou can use dt water but it isn’t really necessary.
Transporting some filter media from the dt can help to cycle it (giving you less problems during qt).
Problem with rocks is that they will absorb copper. Not sure about formalin (I don’t think they do).I was gonna add the smaller rocks I want to replace in the dt
Instruction only for pond use and koiFormalin won’t bind with rocks. Be sure to supply really good aeration.
I’ve never used 30% formalin. The products I use are 100% formalin, which in turn is a solution of 37% formaldehyde gas in water. How does the label say to dose it?
