Can anyone help with identifying this disease please....System crashing ....possibly under control but need an answer.
History :-
Tuesday (last) - New soft coral added (White Star Polyp Cluster)
Sunday - Cleaner Wrasse Added and new lump of Live rock some minor rearranging of rock and corals
Wrasse was in good health in LFS with no sign of illness and in full colour.
Monday AM - Wrasse hiding and miscoloured (not as bad as above), bush coral deflated and totally falling over in current and dis-coloured blackening and skeletal elements showing. bush coral removed and assumed dying (discarded completley). Wrasse degraded during day and day in evening with miscoloured sides as in photo. Also Chromis found dead (although the mithrax had got it).
Tuesday - Bi-Colour side fins shredded tail fin missing a lump (not eaten) second chromis lost today.
Action - Main Tank 50% water Change (mon), 30% tuesday. Angel (bi-colour) removed to hospital tank and undergoing treatment with Myxazine no further degradation although gill area looks discoloured as in picture and 1/4 inch white spot appeared on side.
Angel shows no signs of trying to scratch on rocks (ich symptoms) and is not gasping, in fact is looking quite healthy other than fins and gill / body colour.
ANY IDEAS ANYONE????
What Else is in the tank;-
White star Polyps
Red Sea Pulsing
Pulsing Xemia
2 x Clown (o. perc.)
Mithrax (Emerald) crab
Blue Knuckle Hermit
Red Hermit Crab
Red Starfish
Boxer Shrimp
Fire Shrimp
All the above show no signs or symptoms of illness and water quality is good readings below.
Ammonia 0, Nitrate <5, Nitrite 0, SG1.0205 @ 25 Deg C, all have had no significant change during the life of the tank. Fitration Ehiem Ecco Pro running carbon, mechanical filter pad and bio balls. 12 KG of live rock and live sand bed (in tank).
EDIT>>>>>
Tank is 125 ltr Nano....With Hydor Coralia for flow as well as return from filter. Although not the norm the wife likes the airbrick so also have airbrick providing air, with side effect of additional circulation.
