So, this is my first post and I'm in desperate need of advice! I have a 10 gallon reef tank about about 2 weeks ago I added 2 false percula's. I think someone is wrong with one of them but after the hours of research I've done online I can't pin point anything. Here are his symptoms: he hangs out at the top of the tank mostly all day (looks like hes trying to get air) and hes definitely not as active as my other clown. He looks a little beaten up and there is some areas on his body where his colors look a little faded. I noticed today he has a teeny tiny white spot that looks like a lice on his gill. He also seems to "freak out" from time to time.

I only have my 2 false percula's with a turbo snail and a peppermint shrimp. Water parameters are good except my nitrates are a little high at 15 ppm.

Any thoughts anyone?
