also have any tips on where to put the hermits? My dad has a fishing cooler which should be large enough, so should I clean it and put the Hermits there?

Why would you need to remove the hermits? You're not planning on treating your clowfish for ich in your display tank are you? Don't do that. Remove the clownfish and put him in a separate hospital/quarantine tank so you can treat him separate from your display.also have any tips on where to put the hermits?

Are you planning to use copper to treat him? You really shouldn't do that in your display unless you plan to keep it as a FOWLR. The rock will absorb the copper and leach back out killing your corals and inverts.I dont have a QT, so I have to do in my display
If you're just trying to isolate him you could get some egg crate for cheap to divide the tank.Should I be able to use some mesh to make a area for him? I dont have other tanks, nor do I have space for one, and I dont think he would enjoy being in a breeder box for a month
Im gonna hypo, and might use something like ruby rally reef pro or something if I need toAre you planning to use copper to treat him?

Oh okay, sorry I must have missed that. If you can't find rally (I used to have issues getting it), you can look into Polyp Lab Medic. It's not going to cure or remove the ich, but it can help the fish recover. Hope the little guy pulls through!Im gonna hypo, and might use something like ruby rally reef pro or something if I need to
I wouldn't even do hypo, maybe just a freshwater dip, just treat with chloroquine phosphate or copper. water changes/pristine water helps. are they still eating?I'm planning to do hypo starting tomorrow, to try and eliminate the ick, and then I can treat with something.
Clowns are pretty sneaky - you may not see fighting. There is evidence of it though - the frayed caudal fin. That is a sign of some sort of mechanical damage. It may be that this started as minor damage that is no longer happening, and then bacterial infection has taken over to cause additional fin damage.I dont see fighting so I probably wont isolate him, I sometimes watch the tank when im tired and the female never attacks him.
she is eating, I wont do copper because I have hermits and I want to have corals in the future, I do water changes every 2-4 daysI wouldn't even do hypo, maybe just a freshwater dip, just treat with chloroquine phosphate or copper. water changes/pristine water helps. are they still eating?
