Just occured yesterday, and yes I added a small male maroon, seemed like I got lucky as they got along pretty much from the start.
But the male has gone missing...?

So you didn't QT? First mistake there. One I hope you will not make next time? Sorry can't help you on the diagnosis or treatment of what the clown has but can help you realize you should QT anything wet that you intend to put in your main system. But of course I am sure you are already contemplating that now anyway.

would research the issue more...
have you thought about increasing your salinity? going extra strong on iodine? adding 5 cleaner shrimp tomorrow? breaking down your tank (to cath him), net the poor fellow and give him a medical bath in some best of breed solution for eliminating the fungus? feel bad for the guy... I hate it when my fish get sick. best of luck... let us know what happens |

I'm concerned about her eating too, and yes I did #6 first, I felt bad and still do, I'm sure it's something I had a hand in.
