OK that's not a real thing, but in my case I suppose it is. I've had this magnifica for a year now and the mouth has been "puffy" since its last treatment in December. I have two theories, one, it got injured internally during the last treatment from being moved around on the rock; and two, my A. bicinctus clowns are stressing it out causing this affliction. I can theoretically test the second theory out by removing the clownfish for a period of time, however I'm wondering what some of you more seasoned owners would say is long enough to cross that theory off altogether? Also what if it did get injured and the clowns are keeping it from being able to heal properly? Part of me wants to find them a new home and see what happens after a few months, but at the same time it feels wrong to get rid of them. I definitely don't want to house them separately for months.
It's basically impossible to say anything with any certainty, and this is all theorizing on my part, the mag is otherwise very healthy and settled in. My tank is about to hit its 2 year birthday and is very stable with growing SPS colonies, I'd like to sort this out as it worries me that it could eventually make it start walking again (it hasn't since being placed in the DT). Also I'm tired of having a "bounce" magnifica. :lol:
Thanks,
