I have a 90 gallon with live rock and a sump. Tank has been running for about 6 months but all of the live rock and zoa are from my old tank which ran for over 2 years. banggai, Halloween crab and snails are from the previous tank also.
My lights come on at 3 pm and most days my foxface has something wrong. A tiny dot or two that look like ick, cuts/ scratches on his side or an issue with a fin. I have two cleaner shrimp and a cleaner wrasse who are often picking away at him-taking good care of him. By the time 5-6 pm comes around he looks great. No problems on his skin. Except the time he was cut/scratched but that went away in a few days.
I am beginning to think something is stressing him out at night. He hasn't found a place to hide at night even though there are plenty of places he fits (places I’ve seen him get into). He is usually at one of the front corners of the tank when the lights are out.
He eats very well and gets along with his tank mates which are
Banggai Cardinal
Cleaner wrasse
Two small clowns
Small mandarin
Snails
Hermits
Halloween hermit crab. I think the scratches might be from this guy. He’s pretty big.
I don’t turn my flow down at night.
Any insight to this?
