Clownfish concern

[niteowl03]

I picked up to osellaris clowns from my LFS yesterday and they did ok for the first 6ish hours. when I got home last night one was staying in a back corner of my tank less than 2 inches off the sand bed. The other appears to be acting normal. I'll the levels in my tank appear to normal aside from my ph being at 8.0 (normally it stays at 8.2. Should I be concerned?

I shot this picture tonight, one of the clowns died tonight (the one staying in the back corner), and now the other one is exhibiting similar behavior (staying near the sand not being super active) and now there is a white string coming from the bottom of my clown. It appears to be getting longer as well.... What is wrong with my fish??????

Possibly internal parasites, Prazipro is the standard cure. I doubt that this is what killed your other fish though. How did you acclimate them? Many LFS have a SG much lower than our tanks and a sudden change can be deadly. Always know the SG of the water the fish is coming from and drip acclimate if there is much difference.
