[techdiver]

I'm not sure. If he is sick, then I put him in a quarantine tank for treatment.

Possibly Ich. You might try dosing him with copper, but only in a quarantine tank dedicated to copper. Read up on copper prior to dosing and realize you will never be able to use this tank for inverts, etc.

 

[techdiver]

Is that clown getting any better?

 

[jtrip]

heck he was rubbing in sand i guess lol

Well, that is good news then. Clowns seem to be extremely hardy. I've had mine for around 2.5 years without a single health issue. So far I haven't had to treat a marine fish for parasites or any other sickness. I'm knocking on wood right now.

Glad to hear all is well.
