    Hello we have a Ocellaris Clownfish we have been having what we think is a thread worm problem. i have been doing a freshwater dip and the "threadworm" falls off and got another one the next day. he looks perfectly heathy so i thought it was just poo but if let go it will stay on him all day. i don't have any pictures of it right now but if it comes back i will take a picture.

    Tank
    75g sw
    405 fuval. polishing pads top, Biomax next, Carbon next two media trays
    80 degrees f
    8.0ph
    1.023 gravity 32 salinity
    nitrite is 0.2 nitrate 2.5
    ammonia 0.5
    tank has been up for 3 weeks yes it was rushed :cry:
    about 60lbs of live sand
    17 or so lbs of lace rock and 3 lbs of dead coral
    we have:
    2 Ocellaris Clowns
    1 bi-color
    1 dragon goby
    1 yellow tail damsel in qt right now for color fade and a ripped up fin we had two but they wouldn't leave each other alone now i have a hurt fish and a dead one i am treating the live one with quickcure and freshwater dip.

    I know we have alot of fish in the tank only after 3 weeks. the tank hasn't cycled yet this whole thing was rushed. I am not very happy about it i would have liked to put in LR and let it cycle with no livestock but i have no control over it so I'm doing my best to try and keep it going. Thanks for any advice.
