I found my mandarin dead this afternoon with no apparent reason. It showed no signs of stress when I saw it yesterday. When I found it there were no marks on the body, except for the fact that the eyes were gone. It was plump and not shrunken. I've only had it for one week. I did not put it into my QT tank because I was afraid that he would not survive due to the QT having no live rock. I instead asked the store to hold hive for several weeks while I observed him. I have 50+ lbs of live rock with MANY little critters crawling on it. My water quality is:
PH - 8.2
Nitrate - 10ppm
Nitrite - 0
Ammonia - .25ppm
Salinity - 1.021
I have 15+ scarlet and blue-leg hermits and 15+ turbo snails. I also have a queen conch and 4 shaving brush plants. All other inhabitants are healthy and thriving. The tank has been up for over five months. Can anyone tell me what happened so that i can prevent it form occurring again?
