Thx Jay!That isn't Brooklynella. If the fish are not breathing really fast, then it isn't Amyloodinium (velvet). It is most likely Cryptocaryon (ich). Royal Grammas are very susceptible to ich. However, the general rule is: once ich has reached the point where fish loss has occurred, it is very difficult to treat quickly enough in order to keep further fish loss from happening. There is no effective display tank treatment for ich, you'll need to set up a treatment tank and get a copper treatment started ASAP. I know that is a huge issue to do that, but there really isn't any other good course of action. Sorry!

Jay thanks for the tip.. any good copper brands that you can suggest? Will copper treatment affect corals?That isn't Brooklynella.

Thank you very muchKeep copper away, way away from your main tank. It will kill everything but fish.
Also, look up which fish are sensitive to copper.
Use copper power. You can use Prime with it to control ammonia. You WILL get ammonia in that tank with two fish for sure.
The main tank will need to go totally fishless (fallow) for seventy something days...2 and a half months.
Google Humble fish forums....he's an expert on disease and eradication. Everything you need to know.
Clowns and watchman hanging in there. Clowns ate this morning. Is the watchman goby going to do ok with no sand:gravel? Looks like he’s constantly trying to dig on the glass. Or maybe just sees himself?Thank you very much
The goby isn’t going to enjoy it, but unless you go out and locate some more inert (not coral) sand, there isn’t much you can do about it. I will sometimes paint the bottom of tanks flat black to try and reduce the reflection.Clowns and watchman hanging in there. Clowns ate this morning.
