Safe to use ACTUAL seawater?

A cleaner shrimp would probably die to heavy metals but their shell does offer some protection.

I would probably just try CUC from a different store.

Start with some hermits.

They two different bathes I got were from 2 different places

Also that clownfish looks like a snowflake to me. As far as costs go... new types of patterns of clownfish start out very expensive, usually a few 100 dollars and then drop in price over the next few years.

I honestly didnt have it in me to tell them that, but its true the one in the photo looks like a snowflake

post another pic of her and I will honestly let you know which it is. I didnt have the heart to break it to you that it might not be but now that tamberav let the cat out of the bag might as well

True, missed that about the cleaner shrimp. Could have just been badly shipped snails/hermits, usually more of a problem with the snails. Doesnt have much to do with the LFS sometimes they just get a bad shipment but going to a different LFS is always an option. Snails and hermits are a dime a dozen and at every LFS so it is worth a shot

They were not shipped both batch brought from different LFS’s

Lol, I hope its not the same one in there because the OP wrote snowflake clownfish for it and not orange storm. Maybe they got a different one now?

This is the best I could get she’s doing that thing we’re she plays dead

No that’s definitely not he past away a few months ago

 

[1clownfish]

That’s why I got an orange storm

 

[dedragon]

that, unfortunately also looks to be another snowflake clownfish and not orange storm. Not having any white on the eye is a large giveaway. It should also have a pattern with unbroken line most of the time to the back

 

[1clownfish]

oh no! How did I not see that?! contacting the seller right now

 

[dedragon]

here is my storm for comparison (i guess i would say black storm for mine now) you can see the unbroken line and pattern down the side and the white on its eye. Hes always hiding in the anemone so hard to get good shots, the female percula is a camera hog

I paid so much Money! Are you sure?

oh wow… that’s a big difference…

I tested for phosphate
it’s definitely 0ppm thank god I worried after it was mentioned that the aquarium water could have dead organisms which could lead to high ammonia etc.

 

[dedragon]

almost 100%, I havent seen the rest of the body for yours but here is a larger group of them from sea and reef. Not all look to have it as much on the eye as mine but all have some white on the face

 

[1clownfish]

Oh I see…

Trying to get better pictures but she is still laying down
