clown fish syptoms?
Hello
I am new to this site and to the reef keeping world. I had a 108g long, fish only tank but now have made the jump. I have a 120 Gallon reef with dual 250 hqi halides and vho actinics. 130 ibs tyong rock. and have had it up and running for about 2 months since cycled. Everything looks great so far. Colt, Frogspawn, Pulsing Xenia, G. Star polyps, Orange spong, Yellow Gorgonian (which is doing amzing,, white polyps out even in the day!!) and finger leather. 3 yellow tangs and my cleanup crew,
I recently purchased a Magnifica (lg) anemone and 2 spawning tomato clowns. as I focal point of the tank!!
After about 1 week here is my situation . The larger female is very active and looks healthy other than on her sides it appears that her skin (or scales) are a bit flaky , Eating well , swimming around etc?? Any ideas ?
the other thing is at times the anemone lies flat with deflated tenticles and then later it looks fine ( I have heard that its just resting when they are deflated. I havnt had him eat anything yet ? thats my concern but like everything else in my tank It has taken patience for things to adjust? Any concern here or is my instinct correct? It doesnt even hold onto the krill that I feed, Once the flow is turned back on the food just floats away again? Frustrated as I want to see it eat. If lets say an anemone dies what happens over time? As mine still has bright yellow tips and hasnt moved ( firm grasp 1/2 way up my tank on a ledge in the tank)
I am more concerned about the clown at this point???
Thanks and I have to say this site is over flowing with knowledge , just hoping someone has seen the same thing in one of their clowns??
Thanks
Gerad
