Unfortunately he died a few hours after this post :/

My mandarin recently developed this white pimple on its face and is breathing heavy and not eating like he was. He's been eating frozen and live brine fine. I had an issue with nitrates (40) and phosphates (.25) so I've done water changes the past two days. Could that be it or does he have some...

Looks like a mushroom coral

I turned off the filter but will turn off the power heads as well and see if that helps.

I floated the bag and slowly added tank water and then placed him on a rock. He made his way around the tank and has been in the back corner for about a month now. He sits near a cave but never attaches. The first time he got stuck I put him back in on the rocks to the right and he made it back...

My anemone got stuck on to the HOB a few weeks ago. I turned it off and he went back to normal. Last night he got stuck again. I turned it off and gave him a bit of time and he came off himself. He seemed to be replumping this morning but I just came home from work and he's back up there again...

It looks like a mithrax to me. Mines a pinkish color.

Still heard clicking after the plunge. I'm guessing he wasn't in that rock anymore. That or I didn't leave it in there long enough. I was hesitant to wait too long because I discovered a sea urchin living in that rock recently.

Did a water change and am keeping an eye on it. So far so good.

I tried to humanely capture him using a glass and then putting the rock I thought he was in into a bucket of fresh but none of that worked so I resorted to stabbing a kabob skewer into the holes I saw him in. I didn't think I got him but the clicking stopped and I haven't seen him in 4 nights so...

Tried to capture him then gave up and tried to kill him. Haven't seen him in awhile so I think he met his demise. Poor guy.

Definitely a hitchhiker. Certainly didn't intend to buy him. So far I don't think he's hurt anyone but will try catching him in a glass or bottle... Need to go aiptasia hunting again. They tend to reappear.

What the heck is this thing living in my rocks :/

Thanks!
