I recently completed cycling my 450g marine tank. Water is as follows: Amm=0, NH2=0, Nitrates=20, pH=8.0, Alk=300, sg=1.024.
I added 7 Green Chromis and one Yellow Tang. The other day I noticed one of the Chromis started showing an area of lighter color (as if the Green was bleached away. The area got larger over the next day and then I started to notice within the lighter area there was a darker area (more like the looks of a wound). He then died quickly. The others looked okay with the exception of one of them and the same pattern happened quickly to him and he just died.
Now one of the Chromis has 2 lighter area on his tail and I am assuming he is next.
The Tang looks fine and the rest of the Chromis look good. I can't tell if this is a parasite or not.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Pete R.
