Mardel Maroxy Anti Fungal for Saltwater.

Many LFS carry useless anti-fungal, parasite and bacterial medications so phone first otherwise you will be chasing all over town.

A hiding place(s), and a small cheap filter to clear the water.

Do a 20+- water change daily, use a turkey baster to siphon out any crude on the bottom and feed less.

i had the same thing on my clowns and used mardel "maracyn 2 " it was a fw treatment but did the trick (same Symptoms. and i coudnt find any SW meds and needed it ASAP). total QT time was a month. i also restored the rock back to dispay after another month, and a few water changes. all i used was a 10g , ac hob filter and heater and a rock i pulled from the display.

The fungis my clowns showed was a white cotton ball looking thing. ate their gills and fins a little. no signs since. My advice is that if you go thru all the trouble to set up a QT tank DONT RUSH it. make sure their all good before removing.

Marycin 2 is for bacteria infections

MarOxy is for fungal and bacterial infections and you only use it for a few days.

""Safe, stable and non-staining MarOxy treats fungal, as well as bacterial diseases such as clamped fins, swollen eyes, and patchy coloration. Use of a hospital tank is recommended. Active ingredient: stabilized chlorine oxides. 1/2 teaspoon per 10 gallons daily, for no more than 5 days. 1 oz. treats 25 gallons for 5 days. For fresh and saltwater.""
