chromis shivering

carolgyrl1 · 06/08/2011, 01:55 PM

last night right before the lights went out, I notices that several of my green chromis looked like they were shivering, and then they all went into the branches of the rock. I thought this was an odd behavior. I also noticed one of the other fish rapidly swimming around in a big loop fast. I hope this is not ich making an appearance. Am I overreacting? this morning all seemed fine.

does it seem like they're trying to shake their heads? if so it might be flukes. prazipro is a great treatment for it. I think it's safe for corals, anyone know for sure though?

It could just be posturing.
