While feeding today I noticed a "growth" around one of my clownfish's mouth. He doesn't seem to br able to close his mouth. I dont know if he is eating or not. He is acting fine (no heavy breathing or having trouble swimming) however he is staying towards the middle of the tank and not...

Live rock had little pores that micro bacteria live in detritus gets caught in these holes and the bacteria eat it but when all the holes are full and the bacteria can't keep up there is a short time where the skimmer is needed to help the live rock that's really the only need for a skimmer...

Its a 55g. It has the small white-ish color copepods from live rock. I have done some research and I made sure to have the rock setup so it's able to let the copepods reproduce without the dragonet able to get to them. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I forgot to include there is no refugium. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I added a bottle of trigger pods (large red copepods) to my tank and I was wondering the approximate time that it would take for the population to become large enough to support a red ruby dragonet.
