Please help dont know whats going on my fish tank
Everythings same since day 1 up until now
But my fishes started to disappear recently without a trace and 2-3 days ago they started to have some kind of white particles on their skins and almost all of them died day by day
I took out all the live rocks for now and will try to do a general cleaning of the tank everything will go out
Dont know whats inside my tank

Here's some pics of the fish

Most of my fishes died already i only got 4 left of them from 12

Please help thanks in advance

Sorry!
How big of a tank do you have and what is your set up?

 

[NanaReefer]

Research ICH. It is a fish parasite.

The thing that's bothering you is an invasive species of anemone called Aptasia. Not a welcome member to our tanks. Several ways to remove them. Research and choose the one that best suits you. AptasiaX works good.

Its about 40 usgal and have everything on it lr skimmers heaters
Nothings been change or added since I set it up back around 6mnths

Its all of a sudden some fish disappers and cant find any traces of it even bones are gone then recently found one dead on the sandbed with 1/4 of its body gone and found somewhat look like a worm with some hair on the sides of it and its a bit big

Now I am planning for a general clean with everything taken out fresh all in
Btw I own a giant carpet anemone and a polyp a mushroom and some cynia i dont know what it is heres the pic

I have dealt with the same thing.

BTW nice looking tank and fish.

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Thanks but im in a middle of a battle right now
Since I am planning to change my sand to much more finer sand and this is happening right now might as well clean the whole tank and hope it will be gone too (x fingers)

Do you have any suggestions or advices or anything?

Wow 12 fish in a 40? Sounds like jumped in a little to fast. How long has this tank bee setup and what do you have for filtration? Sounds like it hasn't cycled fully and over loaded bio

 

[ontop27]

Even if it is cycled 12 fish in a forty? Your crazy, especially a blue hippo. Shaking my head. The fish are definitely in a better place now as they were probably getting ammonia poisoned

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

My lfs told me its ok since the fishes are in ss sizes tanked was setup about 6 months ago and slowly increased the fishes one by one

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

They say its roughly 40 gal dont know much since i live in japan we use liters and its a157liter tank on a 90x45x45 soze tank

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Filteration is a kotobuki sv9000 model a hang on skimmer thats about it

 

[ontop27]

Rule one of this hobby most fish stores will tell you anything to make a sale. Max you should have like six fish of that size

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Ok please teach so i can have more knowledge on my hobby since i am still a newbie 6mnths from start was a freshwater guy back then

 

[TrialandError]

Saltwater isn't like freshwater where you can take a bunch of stuff out clean it and put it back or just replace it. You are going to crash your tank and kill everything. Or am I wrong?

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Ok go on please

 

[ontop27]

Can you take an full shot of the tank and what type of lighting do you have

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Here it is

 

[kenji.hiramoto]

Lighting is just a ordinary flourecent one white one blue color

Could you also research Marine Velvet. To lose that many fish so soon, and assuming ammonia was not present, this is what I would be leaning towards. Ich can definitely kill fish, but not quickly IME.
