This is my Pajama Cardinal, Fred. I have him in a Fluval Evo with a mild-mannered ocellaris, a barnacle blenny, and a small peaceful CUC. No stinging corals, just those basic orange/green zoas, gsp, and a mushroom. No protein skimmer per se, but I do have a cheap little surface skimmer. Also, no powerheads.
He has had this weird fin erosion for a few months and I can't figure it out. I keep up with my water changes and have dosed with Furan-2 twice. Before his fins started going, my tank almost crashed once but I saved it and haven't seen any problems since. His demeanor has always been fine and he is always begging for food so aside from the obvious problem, he doesn't seem sick. I've been thinking about donating him to my local fish store so he can be put in a larger tank with more of his own kind, but I want him to be cured first. His right fin (not pictured) is almost entirely gone. Any ideas?
My CUC includes all manner of inverts (a snail, a couple hermits, a shrimp, and an urchin) so if possible any medications should be safe for all of those. Thanks in advance!
