carpet sting

[reefdogg1107]

My tomini may have suffered a sting from my haddoni. He was swimming near and it looked as if his tail brushed against the carpet. This morning he breathing is slow, large white spot on his side near his tail and is not swimming at all. I have him in QT but am not sure what to do? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Outside of maybe using some antibiotics to keep down infection, I don't know that there is much you can do. Will it eat?

feed it to the carpet:)

he was not eating and i just checked and he has died he was in QT with some chemicals probobly not a good idea to feed him to the anemonme now right?

I wouldnt deliberately feed it to the anemone, sorry to hear it didnt make it.

I'm sorry it didn't make it reefdogg1107. No do not feed a Tang to an Anemone. They are big and spiky.. You could kill the nem.
