Super finicky Clown - What to feed?

Selcon has always helped me

That notates an internal infection which will affect feeding. PraziPro is the cure for this.
you can try brine shrimp and flakes in the mean time

I already soak metro+focus on the food but he won’t eat enough for it to have an effect? The other clown poops normally now but we have still continued with medicated food both mysis and pellets. Should prazi be doses in the entire tank or soaked?

Prazi pro is for entire tank, not for soaking.

General cure plus focus soaked into food for internal parasites.

Thanks, picked up LRS Reef Frenzy and general cure this morning! Hope he gets more tempted into eating this...

Thank you!!! I’ll dose it. Should I remove the chaeto or would prazi have no effect on that?

I don't think it would have any affect on it. I believe the only other thing it is known to bother is worms, and tube worms.

Prazi can be applied to tank. Dose at 80% of recommended. Safe for chaeto and snails, etc. Should tale about 3-5 days to take effect

how is clown doing??

how is clown doing??

We actually called up the store and he is back in their hands, to see if they can fatten him up (and they are doing treatment for the parasite issue), which is beyond what I would expect any fish store to do. They offered to replace the fish with any other clown in store of my choosing for free, but I was too sad to think about getting a new fish. It's pretty demoralizing to have a dead clown, and an almost dead clown, in your first few months of reefing.

Unfortunately I think I just got back luck with the fish I chose. The original orange clown has continued to be fat and happy this entire time, so I think I just got like, weak/sick clowns as partners We have walked through my setup, water quality, treatment process and pretty much any other thing we can think of that would cause this, and I don't think it's anything I am doing wrong. Still feeling pretty down though. Hope they call me back in a week with the news that our little guy pulled through. If he doesn't though, I'm gonna try and convince myself that I shouldn't be so dramatic and quit the hobby, lol.

Also, orange clown LOVES reef frenzy!

Thank you!!! My orange clown loves this stuff, and I asked if my usual fish store was looking into carrying it!
