Did you just get this clownfish? Is the clown acting normal otherwise, or is it stressed.
A lot more details needed.

The clown is part of a mated pair of maroon clowns. (male) It is in an established reef tank 65G. The NO3's are a bit high 60ppm. and everyting else is at or better than exceptable levels. Nothing in the tank has changed over the past three months. The sick clown has been in the tank for 8 months. The LFS siad that it is a fungus type infection that can be treated with antibiotics. I have the fish in a 10g. QT with one tablet of anti-b. I plan to add one tab a day for four days. The QT has a filter with just floss and a air stone. I also have a heater to maintain water temp. I just did a 10% on the tank that the clown came from. Any suggestions would be great. I would hate to see him go. Thanks all!
