orange skunk clowns

I just went out and bought a new pair of clowns since my occelaris pair died :nope: One was from ich I think and the other looked like it was velvet. Either way the diseases each one had progressed very fast and were dead within a day or two at most after it being visible on their bodies. Needless to say, had 4 fish, back down to the first one I bought. So I decided to go a different direction with the clowns and bought a pair of orange skunks. They're awesome, and having a fun time in the quarantine tank I set up, I refuse to let another disease get into the main tank. My question is, how big do they get? And just curious, how many people here have orange skunks that host any corals you have?

Did you buy the clowns just after the death of the others? Ich will still be present in your tank and complications might arise from the stress of transport of the two new clowns and they probably will have a good chance of contracting Ich themselves.

The quarantine hadn't finished cycling before I was able to save my other clowns. There is no ich in the quarantine tank and my royal gramma (in the main tank) has not shown any signs of ich, which is why I'm wondering if the clown had something other than ich. I'm keeping a close eye on my royal gramma to make sure he doesn't contract ich, and if he does he'll go straight into the quarantine w/the 2 new clowns and I'll just treat all 3 with hyposalinity. But the clowns died a week and a half ago and I haven't seen any signs of ich or any fin detioration on my royal gramma.
