only one of them has those white spots

well i've done a little research and it looks like lowering the salinity will slow down the onslaught.

i hope the lowered salinity doesnt kill my anemone

:scared:

What other fish in the tank? Personally if it's just the three then I would just add a cleaner shrimp and try to keep them well fed...they should weather it out fine.

As for hypo, it is usually done in a QT, not in the main tank.

yeah definitely dont hypo in the main tank. in order to effectively kill the ich it would have to come down to 1.10 and this would also severly damage your display. try the cleaner shrimp and see if that helps. if not then try and put him in a QT tank

 

[z32tt]

i dont have any corals or anything, just the anemone, my 2 clowns, and the blenny

and a sally crab and a cleaner shrimp, and some snails

Don't risk it try the cleaner fish if that dont work put him in the QT and lower salinity .

I also have a Z32 but its auto:rolleye1:

If you hypo your tank you will most likely kill your anemone and other inverts.

Dont do HYPO if theres an anemone in there...

Set up a nice 10g with a canister filter, heater, some pvs joints and treat in there....Ive always gotten lucky and just dipped the food in Garlic-Ex and they regain strength in their immune system. Cleaner shrimp will help also IME.

if you did do hypo and its to late, DONT RAISE THE SALINITY FAST. You can lower the salinity pretty quick.. like 1 day over time, to raise it you should do it very very slow. changing salinity on an anemone really stresses em out

edit.. heres a great thread about qt http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=288805
