Recently, all of my fishes (brown tang, eel, 4 domino damsels, 4 blue damsel) and most turbo snails died at the same time, except my clownfishes and my coral banded shrimp. I have 12 occelaris and 2 saddleback clowns. I suspect (I never actually saw it) my magnificent anemone got caught in the wavemaker and released toxins of some sort, coz when I checked, the anemone lost few tentacles and like swollen, and the water became a bit cloudy.
As of now, about 3 days after, the magnificent anemone is attached in the rock, with swollen body and fat tentacles, still hosting clowns. I can't see any cuts though, just lost tentacles, but I can see small ones about to grow back I guess. All my corals (hammer, torch, elegance, tree, finger leather, brain) are fine. All my 14 clownfishes seems happy. My other anemones (sebae, corkscrew and carpet) looks okay. My shrimp is alive and kickin.
Ammonia - 0
Nitrates - 10
So like just wanna ask if THAT caused mass fish kill?
Should I do water changes before I add new fishes other than clowns? Or like the toxins (if there is) will subside by itself?
How long does anemones heal itself?
Thanks!
