911 - Clown and Power Head

[brians_224]

My Clown just got sucked into my modified MJ 1200 _ I was plugging it in and it was spinning the wrong direction, and he was curious. I was able to get him free. He swam down to the bottom of the tank and seems to be swimming - although he is hiding.

I see some damage/cuts - mainly on the top and side of his head.

WHAT SHOULD I DO?

QT him and Melafix him!

poor clown now he knows what killed the cat. I would keep an eye on him for any signs of infection or ich. You might want to get a QT ready in case he needs to be moved and treated.

And cage that powerhead before his anemone follows him.

Thanks for your quick posts!

I have a qt currently running with a YWG - two weeks in. The YWG looks healthy and is eating good.

Should I move him there and start antibiotics? I don't want to stress him out. there is only his mate in the tank as far as fish. I have Melafix - I have hesitations in using it.
