I just got a new ocellaris clown from liveaquaria, and he's not quite acting up to snuff. He arrived on the 5th, along with a midas blenny. He is a wc, so from what I've read, he probably has some sort of internal parasite. He is just swimming very slow in the corner of the QT. He hasn't eaten since he got here, and I'd really hate to lose him.
I soak all food in garlic, and have tried mysis, prime reef flakes, saoked brine shrimp, and he won't take anything. He just looks at the food and doesn't eat it. I've never had or seen a clown just swim so slowly in the corner and not eat. He doesn't show any outward signs of any disease, but he occasionally gets some small white poops, which also makes me thing internal parasites. The blenny is acting perfectly normal, so I know it's not the tank. Water params are 0 Ammonia, 0 Trites/Trates, 8.4 ph, 1.023 SG. Any ideas?
