Woke up this morning to see my firefish with a red rash. Before this morning he already had some fin damage from a bully clownfish, which I have rehomed a week or so ago. However, this morning was particularly odd because not only was there a red flesh wound? that appeared, the fins seemed to have been further damaged. In fact, if I look clearly some of the fins still have its bones but its flesh has been eaten like a part of a skeleton. Two things come to mind, either something has been eating this fish while it's been sleeping or its a bacterial/fungal infection. He's been eating fine but often has a weird slumped looking posture like how he is in one of the pictures.
Tankmates:
2 Anemone Porcelain Crabs (one has no pair of pincers)
2 Fire shrimp
2 Nass snails
2 Trochus snails
3 Astrea snails
1 mini brittle star
Some sps (birds nest, acros, montis)
Some mushrooms, zoas, gsp,hammers, dragons breath...
Another important detail... a week ago a barnacle blenny seemingly disappeared (they are very tiny though)...I found the body later next to a rock rotting. However, it almost looked like something was eating it, like some kind of worm? I tried to grab the body and the worm??but I couldn't. It didn't appear very large at all though, maybe the size of a fireworm
