2 yr old clownfish pair - never any health issues, week or so ago I noticed the female stopped eating from my hand as was her habit. She just up and stopped eating altogether. Male was still eating but wouldn’t leave her side. I’ve watched her get thinner, I thought maybe he was taking food back to her because he would dart out and get food and go back to their spot where they would nip around at each other. However, as of yesterday he is still eating but very little. This morning I notice these weird markings on both of their sides?? I am at a loss. No white stringy poop. No visible parasites. Other fish are doing fine - Tomini tang, pair of blue damsels, purple pseudochromis. However, I’ve had three snails die in rapid succession over the last week - weird.
params
Calc 590
Alk 8.1
Sal 1.025
Temp 76-77
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Mag 1790 (!)
I dose calc and alk, use Hannah checkers, dose NoPox and microbacter7.
**of note - corals have been unhappy for last 3-4 weeks, shrinkage and color loss. Also all coraline TURNED WHITE (no idea what that’s about)?? I had been running phosban for algae issues and chalked the coral issues up to that but could be wrong - phosban was removed 2 weeks ago.
purchased 3 new corals are a frag show about 10 days before clown fish started acting off. I did not dip them before putting them in my tank (I know).
primary concern is my clown pair, secondary concern is corals - please help!!
