Problem: small brown spots on two clowns
(will try to post a pic later)
-looks like individual scales are turning brown. On both fish, showed up all at once. all over body, around 10-15 per fish.
-hasn't affected behavior or appetite
-hasn't affected other fish (royal gramma, LMB, Pink/blue spotted goby, two green damsels)
First Clown has been in tank since May. Second clown is a recent addition (almost three weeks)
Tank size: 29g reef in progress (soft corals) snails, hermits, sally lightfoot, emerald crabs, running carbon in HOB filter and protein skimmer.
Lights: T-5s - Nova
Changes in aquarium:
started supplementing the spirulina flake food with ocean nutrition pellets (the fish are crazy nuts over this stuff!)
started using Kent Coral Vite (only used one dose so far)
two recent back to back deaths last week (pulled two other recent green damsels off of the powerhead filter. One I got out before it died (but died in quarintine, the other I was too late, but it had not decayed any. There was no sign of sickness or damage on either, both happened overnight so I think the PH got them while they were sleeping)
Won't be able to get todays readings until tonight.
Please give me some ideas and things I might need to look out for.
