I wondered if maybe I had these:http://www.fishbase.org/summary/6066

Especially since they seemed to eat everything.

I've had cleaners kill my fairy wrasses. My money is on him.

I see the same pattern with mine Jimbo. I had the ich brought in by a wrasse and have been fighting it for over a month. Lost a few fish but the rest seem ok. Healthy appetite. I wonder if one of the suppliers has an outbreak in their system as there seems to be an abundance of ich going around. Or maybe it's always like this.

I did that with my 12 gallon tank, but I didn't have fertilizer (just gravel) and it was fine.

I think it's a polyclad flatworm. Will eat your snails and clams.

I got two out (one small one huge) using a prescription pill bottle and thread and scallop as bait.

BTH, I don't think you're supposed to use the pads in the gfo. The instructions with mine recommended against it.

I looked online and one thing that came up frequently was lack of oxygen in the water (although it seems that more than the one fish would be affected)...but just in case, I thought I'd mention it. I'm not sure what your current set up is, but be sure that your power head is agitating the surface so there is sufficient gas exchange, or you have a skimmer running, or a trickle filter, etc.

Ok. So it sounds "normalish". I have a canopy but it's not super tight. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

I am going through approximately 5 gallons of topoff water every 2.5 days on my 100 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump. I haven't found any leaks so I'm hopeful that it's due to the central heat being on more. Anyone else having a similar experience? I seem to recall something similar last year, but don't recall it being this excessive.

Ty,

For the leopard wrasse, if you know where it sleeps, you can set the net over the spot so that it will swim into it when it comes up (or you can be more heartless and scoop it out while it's asleep)...or so I've been told. I've never actually done this, although that's how the dome caught the leopard wrasse they sold me.

Don't know how well dr gs works on velvet. People seem to like it for ick, and the packaging claims to work on velvet.

Let me know - happy to give it a try!

I've had luck with nori high on a clip

And scooping it out with the net while its focused on the nori. Just don't hesitate or let them see the net.

The problem I have with my Apex sensor in the stand is that it's too humid in there, so it goes off constantly (even though it's not actually touching water) . I've had to place it outside of the stand. I haven't yet tried to find a solution, so I don't know if there's a way to calibrate it to make it less sensitive. Just a heads up before you purchase one!

I have one with wrasses and it's not overly aggressive. It has never bothered me leopard wrasse. If anything, it mostly does its own thing and ignores the others, but it will stand up for itself and not back down from the more aggressive tank mates. Worse I've ever seen it do is "body check" a fish, but never any dipping. Of course, all fish are different...

I had mine lose all it's tentacles while I was out on vacation (my ph kept reading high so I had my friend dose vinegar - turned out probe had lost calibration so it was never as high as I thought). They grew back after a few months. One year later, it's 3/4 to normal length.

Just make sure to keep him well fed. That will go a long way to helping him make it through.

I would recommend that you keep him (and the others) well fed. So long as they keep eating, I have had great success helping them through it. The only time I lost one was when I took a tang out and put him in quarantine. The stress of catching him, transferring to a new tank and medicating him caused him to stop eating and he essentially starved. If you decide to catch yours, the easiest way I found was to put the veggie clip high in the tank. I then used a large net and quickly scooped him out (don't hesitate). Good luck and don't panic!

I've had great success with the zoas that I've gotten from xanreefer. If my tank wasn't such a mess right now, I would definitely get some!

Have you tried asking the LFS what it was eating? Mine didn't eat for a week, then found out they were eating flake. They soon started eating the flakes and slowly added frozen to their meals.

I will. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. It looks like the aiptasia x worked.
