I was wondering if there are any clown specific diseases?
I have a 75G RR tank that I have up and running for about 6 months since I moved, before that it was 4 years old. I have a variety of SPS and softies and a handful of fish. I have acros, montis, hydnos, leathers, xenia, shrooms etc. I also have a yellow tang, a hippo tang, a cleaner wrasse, a snowflake moray eel, and a yellow tailed damsel.
Over the last 2 months, I've been adding false percs but they keep dying. A few small ones became a snack for my eel (expensive lesson). But 3 larger ones died within a week of adding them. (I tried adding pairs 3 times over that 2 month period).
What I'm wondering if there is something specific that is only affecting the clowns. Everything else in the tank is doing great. Just for the record I've never observed the yellow tail harassing anyone. Removal of the dead or sick clowns did not show any nips or bites either.
Any thoughts?
