Hey R2R. This morning both of my new pipefish were found dead on the sandbed. They had been lying motionless on the rocks for the past few days.
I noticed, when I took the bodies out of the tank, that they each had at least two white spots near their heads. They were too big to be ich.
The tank is 30 gallons with a power filter and two weak pumps. It has some soft corals, Caulerpa prolifera, and dragon's breath macroalgae. The temperature was 79, but yesterday I moved it down to 74 in case vibrio was causing them to be lethargic.
There are plenty of pods in the tank, and I fed them bbs every other day. They were male and female, so aggression wasn't the issue.
Does anyone know what caused their death?
