Help and opinions please - ?crash in the making

Except bubbke kill that stuff it produced a growth inhibiter

Anyone else have any alternate ideas ? I would be very interested to read them - a few things bother such as the anemone looking sad and closed given it has been eating fish food, or the duncan looking happy as ever

thanks

Update - removed all the chaeto, fed more than usual

Today, small polyp extension can be seen on the previously closed Goni

1- thanks for the advice @Tankkeepers
2- Still wondering about the anemone that was closed and now happy again, do you think Chaeto in itself can release toxins ? i looked all other the internets and couldnt find any evidence of this
otherwise thinking it may be the starved corals that released stuff in the water that was affecting other inhabitants
or maybe i am just overthinking this

cheers

 

[damsels are not mean]

1 blenny

species?

1 australian strippie

how correlated is the addition of this fish with your issues?

 

[Alex7845]

Blenny is a lawnmower and has been in the tank for 3-4 years, almost since it started, so no worries

Strippie maybe, had it for 3 months, so may have started causing issues - have not seen him peck corals,although he may do it at night or when i am not watching
No way he could get close to the anemone or some of the goni as there are 2 couples of anemonefish living there (been there forever too) and they are super protective. But the one goni that didnt get affected is the favorite of the anemone fish... so maybe
Catching this fish sounds like mission impossible too

That would be my guess lack of food lead to coral decline lead to toxins released in an unusual amount which cascades everything else and snowball you caught it hopefully in time


So very glad to hear improvement I really hope it continues to

Just watch it closely before trying to remove it
