DT will be fishless for the next 2 months, unfortunately.

Ah, I am sorry about your chromis- I'm guessing he passed?

He's stronger than ever. I purchased 2 clowns, and they passed pretty quickly. From online photos, it appears that Brooklynella did them in quite fast. Both showed signs 36 hours ago, both dead this morning. I purchased the medicine that contains Formalin yesterday, but too late. I'll be transferring the chromis to a QT this weekend. Just need to get it up and cycled asap. What's weird is that the chromis shows 0 signs of that disease. I know it's prevalent with clownfish, not sure if other fish can get the same disease?

I am very glad the chromis is well. Never thought about him going into a QT. Sorry about the clowns.

Thanks, I'm sorry it happened too. This type of ich is much different than what I've known in freshwater. Brooklynella kills fast. I will need to treat the chromis in a dip prior to heading into QT for further treatment. I need to have the display fishless for at least 10 weeks.
