Sick clown biting coral

[chvynva916]

One of my two new ocellaris clowns is sick. No visible symptoms such as fin rot or fungus except that it spends about 25% of its time just laying on its side and breathing very fast on top of my open brain (where the two clowns have been hosting).

I keep trying to get it to eat, but when it does swim around it doesn't seem to have the energy/awareness to find the food I'm putting in.

The one thing it does do is seem to now really try to eat the brain's tenticles. At first I thought it was just trying to find food, but now it really looks like it's trying to eat the coral. Has anyone ever seen this?

Any other suggestions (other than make sure my water parameters are good)?

I have noticed something kinda like this with my clown when it was sick.

I have a pair of true percs, they host in my green star polyps. one seemed to get a bacterial infection, and i noticed when he would lay there he seems to chew on the polyps.

I used MelaFix for a week the clown is doing great now, you might want to try this not sure how other members feel about the product but it helped my clown.

and he doesn't chew GSP anymore
