I have had a flame angel in my 46 bow since February 10th.
On about the 1st of March I noticed he had a cloudy eye. I read up on it and it seemed the consensus was to just wait a while because it was only one eye and see if it gets better of make a quarantine tank. I admit laziness on this one... I waited opposed to buying and setting up a quarantine tank. For the last 2 days or so I haven’t seen him much. He’s been hiding behind all my live rock.
Today I came home and he’s belly-up on the bottom of the tank. He’s still alive but clearly dying. He looks fine aside from the fact that he’s belly-up and his one cloudy eye.
My question is, is it worth it now to try to save him? Should I set up a quarantine tank and if so what should I treat it with??
In case it’s asked here’s my equipment list:
46 gallon bowfront. Rena XP3 Canister Filter, Coralife Super Skimmer for up to 65 gallons. Two Maxi-Jet 1200's with Hydor Flo water deflectors. 200 Watt Marineland Stealth heater. About 50-70 lbs. of live rock. Current USA 36" Power Compacts w/ 1 - Dual Daylight Lamp (10,000K and 6,700K) and 1 - Dual Actinic Lamp (420nm and 460nm).
Last I checked (a few days ago) water parameters were great. I’ll repost in a few minutes after I’m done rechecking.
Any help is much appreciated!
