Hi everyone,
my fish are displaying a variety of symptoms and Idk what to do. 2 weeks ago i noticed white stringy poop so for the last 2 weeks they have been fed with a 1 to 1 metroplex to focus dose in food 1 to 3x a day. Since then one fish is weirdly swimming at an angle and living in one corner of the tank, one tang and one cardinal have a few white dots, and multiple fish have frayed fins. No one is flashing, scratching, or rapid breathing. Everyone is eating. Im making h20 for a water change now, but what is going on and any thoughts on how to treat in a reef Display tank?!
*Note, this is a 3-4 year old 220g reef tank. I no longer have a qt set up, and even if I did have one large enough, there is no way I can catch them all without a complete tank break down. The tank has corals, anemones, snais, crabs, shrimp, serpent stars, etc.*
(Best pics I could get. I can't tell if the stingy poop is resolved yet. Doesnt seem to be? The tang had like an ich long whitish brown sting like chaeto coming out? )
