I picked up several fish from a LFS on Thanksgiving special and I'm regretting it.

I started with two sunburst anthias, a powder brown tang, pintail fairy wrasse, and a mandarin goby.

Now I am left with just the powder brown and one anthias.

I don't see any obvious signs of brook, ich, or velvet.

I did a fresh water bath to test for flukes.

Nothing.

I was able to get a shot of the remaining anthias and see a bright red marking. What am I looking at?

I've had the same thing happen to me multiple times. Especially with Anthias, whether they were purple queens, lyretails or the sunburst. Sometime I wonder if it is uronema or something else because I've seen this happen to me several times...and one of the times it was in my DT tank, with only the one anthias dying and no other fish. I have no answer other than quite honestly, I think it stressed out. How did you acclimate the entire lot?
