Hi, I have a 2 month old, fully cycled biocube. I have live rock, 2 clownfish, 1 royal gramma, 1snail, and 2 hermit crabs. No coral yet, I'm waiting until the tank is more established. The larger clownfish has developed a white spot on his tail. He is acting normal, and it doesn't seem to be getting bigger, but I am concerned about it being a bacterial or fungal infection that needs treatment. The royal gramma is hiding and hasn't come out, not even to eat, for 3 days now. I can see him, and he's definitely alive. I'm concerned he might be sick as well. I have Kanaplex, Focus, and Metroplex. I need advice on how to treat, please. I just set up a quarantine tank a few hours ago, but it's not ready for livestock just yet. Should I add medication to the DT or move all 3 fish to the QT tomorrow and treat there? I know Kanaplex is not reef safe, but since I don't have any corals yet, I was thinking it might be less stressful for the fish to just treat them in the DT. I could move the hermits and snail since it is not safe for them. Here's a picture of the clownfish. Thank you!
