Due to me not previously QTing a fish, I introduced some sort of bacterial disease into an established tank I had. I recently pulled all livestock I wanted to keep for a metroplex+kanaplex course that cured the aforementioned bacterial disease for another fish that was previously showing symptoms. The livestock that are being treated are:

- 2x blood shrimp (Lysmata debelius)
- 1x peppermint shrimp (Caribbean Lysmata sp.)
- 1x clownfish
- 1x bluestripe pipefish
- 2x yasha goby
- 1x random shroom frag
- 1x Astrangia frag

This morning I noticed the peppermint shrimp had died. By noon today one of the blood shrimps had died too. The shroom is looking very unhappy but the Astrangia is very open. Has anybody had this before? None of the fish look like they have been affected.

As far as I know, Kanaplex and Metroplex is not reef safe for corals/inverts.
I wish I knew earlier. I've dosed it with blue legged, red legged, and halloween hermits all without issue.

I'm realizing they're aren't dead yet, they've been twitching. I'm guessing it must mess with at least these shrimps neurologically somehow.
