Looking for some advice on marking on my male clownfish, spots on mandarin and death of royal gramma. I noticed the pink marking on the male clownfish’ head around 6 days ago
I used FluxRX 3 weeks ago and did the full 2 week cycle by removing cheato and carbon. I’ve since added carbon back a week ago which I read can cause HLLE. Since the FluxRX treatment there’s been a small build up of cyano (nitrates - ~5ppm phos - not detectable) My royal gramma is on his way out due to old age and has been swimming less frequently but when he does he sometimes flicks zoas when he passes by. He’s always flicked the sand a few times a day in the 2 years I’ve had him but nothing seen on his body. (Royal Gramma has died as of today, more information below)
Came home Saturday night and there dots all over my clown so wondering if anyone had any advice
Clown is swimming and eating fine. The only difference I’ve noticed is he flicks his fins really fast sometimes as if he’s irritated a little bit. No rubbing on rocks or anything though.
All pictures are of the same clownfish, it probably looks darker because of the camera and blue lights.
My mandarin has some white marks on his head and one bigger one on his fin. He’s swimming and eating as normal including coming up for his frozen food.
Female clown looks and is acting fine.
The royal gramma hasn’t been eating in a week and I honestly think he was on his way out as I’ve had him ~2.5 years and he’s 3” long. He was rapidly breathing and then came out for a 15-20 frenzy before dying as video’d below. Does this look like a normal death at of
Quick timeline

MinnFinn was used Sunday afternoon which is hydrogen peroxide based dip that can be used in the DT tank for fish and coral

Performed a 5 minute temperature matched fresh water dip on the male clown.
