Kinda looks like marine velvet to me.
Man, that sucks! Sorry to hear it.
I added 2 new fish (from LFS) last Saturday; a Royal Gramma and a Coral Beauty. The Coral Beauty was dead within 12 hours, the Royal Gramma seems to be doing well. He was hiding in the rocks for the first few days, but is coming out more now and is eating well and looks healthy. I was pretty concerned when I found the Coral Beauty dead; and I'm also considering getting a Q-tank.
I don't see the problem with keeping the fish in a Q-tank for a couple of weeks, for observation before adding to your main tank. It wouldn't be much different than the LFS holding tanks. I figure a 20 gal. long will accommodate most fish I'm planning to purchase, and may be worth the investment when you consider the possibility of loosing all your livestock.
Sucks man, but yeah its almost like letting the store be the quarantine tank. they should be treating and it would be sweet if we can pay for a fish then pick it up in a month. but its so hard to do that. and no one really does. so i guess it would be up to us. yet ive still never set up a QT.
How are your remaining fish doing?
do you have any pics of the nems ? im curious.
What are those pink polyps? Pink star polyps? pink goniopora? pink pipe organs? looks cool
