Today I lost my clownfish, no sure what happen. The water parameters are good.
Ph 8.4
Nitrate 0
Nitrite 0
Amonia 0
Calcium 420
Water tem 78.3.

The anemona was good until couple hours ago, was completely close and looks like smaller, I see the mouth is open.
Any idea what's going on?

looks like bacterial infection possibly, why did the clown die? did you do small water changes to help ? did the clown have anything abnormal in it?

Sounds like the clown died of a Brooklynella infection.

1.027 salinity is a little high. I would lower it to 1.025 which is fine for nems, soft/LPS corals and fish.
