Hi everyone,
I have a new reef tank with 3 occupants, 2 clown fish and an algae blenny.
One of the clowns only likes to eat frozen copepods that I got from algaebarn. It will put other food in its mouth, but spits it back out. It also has some unusual looking droppings, but I understand that is sometimes normal for clowns, but sometimes not.
The other clown is a similar size and is happy to eat small flakes and pellets.
Here is a photo of the fish in question, it is very active and is often the aggressor during occasional territorial bouts between the clowns.
I assume moving it to a QT tank is probably the right move. But wasn't sure what to medicate with or how. I do have a 40x microscope if that would be useful in diagnosing the problem.
