Hoping there’s no issue other than the loss of my 2 Skunk Clowns. I’ve had these two for several years. They seemed fine and had been eating well. Yesterday I noticed they hadn’t come out in a while. They tended to hide a fair amount. Found one on bottom today. Other one is MIA. Wondering if the mark on his body is disease or just from something nibbling. Any help would be great. Thx

Based on skin lesion it could be Uronema. Did you notice any hyperactivity or rapid swimming behaviors before the death(s)?

Nothing in a couple months besides a peppermint shrimp about a month ago to rid 1 aiptasia I had.
Was the shrimp QT'd and or until it molted? Parasites can encyst on the hard shell.
