    Just got them 2 days ago. In my 29 gal nano that moved when I moved. I don't have a hospital tank but a few fish buckets as well as the following meds: Crypto-Pro and Kana Plex. I just did a 5 minute fresh water dip. Is that long enough or can I add any of the above meds to the fresh water dip???? Looking for a last dutch effort here. I also have a nice blue carpet anemone in the tank and lots of cleaning crew. Will the Crypto-pro kill these inverts? I have read that it is NOT reef safe???

    Hard to tell from the video...but they look active and hungry. Can you elaborate?

    The larger one has large white spots, strings of what seems to be a parasite of some sort. It has doubled in spread in as many days.

    Try a fresh water dip for about 15 min...this will not hurt them at all. If it is parasites, they will let go.

    Hello , get this reef safe medicine, it's called herbtana and Artemiss , herbtana is a natural reef safe expellant for parasitic diseases , get Artemiss is natural expellant for bacterial disease , first you put herbtana as directed ,then 12 hours later put the Artemiss , I had a bad ick/ velvet out break when I introduced a naso tang to my tank , which looked in perfect health when I purchased it , this medicine treats the disease and helps your fish immune system , it's working great for my sick fish , all my fish had scratching on rock , swimming weird with darting and now after a few days of treatment they are acting normal and there skin looks pretty again , can't believe it worked that fast and best meds I ever tried , you have to get theses meds in tank , the sooner the better, good luck
