Settled in well

 

[James_O]

Now whats wrong with your clownfish?

I finally got some decent pictures: (Note the white around their mouths)

It shows up better under the blues.

You can barely see it under normal light. I'm just worried it way be the start of an infection???

Settled in well

Still hiding, but other than that, settled in real good overnight!

He hasn't started sifting sand yet. ;Shifty

Yea it definitely doesn't look good. Could be ich but I've no clue dude as I've never dealt with infection or disease before. Hopefully its nothing but someone on here should be able to tell you more.

You can barely see it if the blue lights aren't on, but it still weirds me out.

@Jay Hemdal, do you have any ideas?

James leave your clowns in there. What are you feeding them?

No knock against you, but I can almost guarantee if you remove to medicate these fish with your current skill level and knowledge they will die in that process.

To me, your clowns are pretty and look fine.

Eh, I'm not going to remove them. ;Bucktooth

I don't even have a QT tank - where would I put them? Lol.

Like I said, it doesn't look like bad, it just messes with my fish daddy mind. ;Blackeye;Couchpotato

I would just watch them and keep feeding them as regular. It looks ok to me.

Will do! I’ll keep you guys updated if their condition worsens.

Tough to see. Clownfish often develop mouth issues from fighting for dominance or mouthing corals. As long as they are feeding normally and not breathing fast, just keep an eye on them.

I love BRS. All the work they did and published on YouTube has been a game changer now compared to when I had to leave the hobby in 2012 (I had to move to England)

They are awesome! Their vidoes were super helpful to me.

Arctic Ice is growing a new head!! The colony is looking very healthy:

The Cinnamon Paly keeps growing it’s new head:

The mushroom is doing good (as usual)

I plan to glue the rubble it is on, to the shell.

——-

There is an absolutely MASSIVE ricordea mushroom at my LFS that I have been viewing for about a month now. I soooo want it. ;Shy

 

[James_O]

@LRT, how big is your biggest ricordea?

 

[LRT]

My biggest Ric is this one here. Fully open probably pushing 4.5"
Not 100% on sub species but believe yours is Florida Ric. Where mine is Ric Yuma based on the bouncy skirt around cap.
I've seen Rics like yours with at least 10 mouths on 1 solid shroom. Ive also seen your type growing from step to step in lfs where it looked like it was melting down a solid 3" gap and attached to rock below and disc above it as one solid shroom lol

 

[LRT]

Here's one of her babies you can see the distinct differences in growth on bubbly skirt.
