I had a roughly 18" Snowflake Eel, Diamond Watchman Goby, BIG Red Hermit in a 54-gal corner DT. I've battled Brookynella in that tank over the past couple months, losing clowns and Powder Brown Tang. So I gave up the fight and moved everyone to my 55-gal QT in the basement for treatment while I washed/bleached/re-started the DT.
Everyone has been doing just great, then last night for some unknown reason, after the very last scheduled dose of formalin was added, the Snowflake bailed out via one of the HOBs I have on that tank. Only thing I can think of is that I moved the Gobie who constantly hung out in the crevice between the filter body and the end tank wall. The Goby was the Eel's buddy. They occupied shells together and had the most weird interspecies thing you've ever seen. I was going to move the Eel today but alas, she bailed on me.
Anyway, I have Diatomaceous Earth spread around the basement perimeter as a crawling insect preventative. It's not poisonous, but it is highly abrasive and the Snowflake was wallowing around in it this morning when I discovered her missing from the QT.
Any recommendations on meds to assist with healing? Should I go ahead and move the Eel to the DT which is completely sealed to avoid a repeat carpet surfing, or keep her in QT for meds/treatment? Both tanks are FOTs, I don't do corals.
