My tank has been fairly stable with no fish loss for a while. Stats below. I recently added 4 female anthias to the tank courtesy of TSM Aquatics about 9 days ago. Their QT is way more controlled than mine, so I did not QT myself this time around.
For the first week, everyone was happy, eating, look great. In the last two days, one of the anthias has stopped eating, hangs on the bottom, and appears lethargic. Still looks healthy and can swim confidently when it wants to. Maybe she's undergoing a sex change based on color, but don't know for sure. Should I proactively pull and put into QT?
Maybe unrelated event: I saw eggs in the tank for the first time yesterday too.
