Pulling for the CBB and hope the ycg pops out of the rocks

Ok the cbb has some sort of parasite that I have to deal with, it has eaten like a pig for ever and is still pinched thin at the front, it was very lethargic this morning and wouldn't take food so I easily netted it out and popped it in the sump refugium.
Only the second time I have ever done this to a fish but it got a 5 minute fresh water dip and yes I watched the seconds count down on the timer!
Hand caught to go in the dip as it was weak so this was a last resort and a few flukes came off that were not visible, I held it back in the sump for a minute until it swam out of my hand, fingers crossed.

can't find one of these local.
LFS sez last few in look terrible, can't get them to eat and pricing is absurd.
and I need one desperately.

Good vibes for CBC and YCG

Thanks all, the cbb didn't make it and still no sign of the ycg.

I have no idea where the engineer goby is today but this is how cloudy the tank is!

I just got off the phone with the manager of my lfs and now have two small females on a standing order until they find them.

Im not sure exactly the type of LFS your frequent, but I would like 2 medium to large females if you could check on availability and taxis to Nottinghamshire for me ?!

He is on the case, you pay the taxi!

How do you tell, a he or a she?

najer · Nov 5, 2020

As far as I know it is to do with the caudal area and blade length.

D'oh! ;Facepalm

Note to self, clean the glass, this would have been about the best picture I have ever gotten of them together!

Oh yeh and someone chewed the pink streak wrasse' tail, midas suspected and the baby tang has a split tail.

Crabby48 · Nov 5, 2020

And people wonder why we drink. Hope you find the culprit

Fff has something stuck in it's teeth / mouth.
Take one and no it's not the mimic!

I saw it grab it and I thought it was just a caulerpa shoot, it eats anything!
Still there 30 minutes later, nori going in so hopefully it can chew through it and dislodge it, caulerpa would have been gone in about 5 seconds.

Interesting....definitely let us know if it chews it down!

It could be my current refreshments (its that time if day!) but has the foxy fish just eaten the other fish or is my current tipple starting to make me see things! ?

No mimic file fish were harmed in the making of that pic!
