Funny you ask
I am thinking about moving them into an overhang as they are not getting any better, and spot feeding is difficult where they are

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later

I am Sooo glad I place all new fish in QT
Of course, it doesn't help that I don't QT corals, shrimp, snails etc as I've rolled the dice, or rather, spun the cylinder, there

Anywhoo - poor Gramma
I saw it flash once before I bought it, but could not see anything, even with a pair of 300+ magnifier glasses on

2 days later and ...
( best pic I could get )

that sucks man, sorry to hear! My cherub got ich even after a lenghtly qt in hypo. possiby from the stress or possibly cause it wasnt qt long enough or properly. despite that, I bought some herbtana microbe lift, treated the tank for 2 weeks and he was fine for 6 months until losing him in the move. might be worth a shot. its in your system now so your pretty well going to see it from time to time I'm sure. but herbtana worked great for me, plus its reef safe and not stressful to the fish. I think its derived from natural oils from plants (i think.)

good luck man!

Yup, definately sucks but all is not lost as they're in the QT, so all is good

The DT is not contaminated ( at least from this fish )

After this is dealt with I'll leave the QT fallow

I'm treating with Paraguard right now and am considering doing a Hypo

I was feeling guilty about the firefish being in there, but then I recalled it came from the same system @ the store, so it already has it

A little FYI

I have been keeping some LR in the Observation/QT for hiding places and filtration
I wasn't worried if it had to be medicated as it's a small piece of rock
If I was to ever use copper I would remove it first

I've been using Seachem Paraguard daily and so far I've seen;

Dead brittle star
Dead asterina stars
Amphipods are OK
Isopods are OK
Palys and aiptasia close up right after dosing
Aiptasia opens up after about 18 hours
Palys don't open at all
